Giuseppe Corradino

As we observe the art works of the last past years of Giuseppe Corradino we can notice a sharp turn compared to his past of figurative and find ourselves in a painting conflict and dizziness in an environment without shadows that is much more recognizable and traceable to its author through the use of “fingerprints” which symbolize the signature, immersed in an atmosphere of informal structure or photograph.

In all of this is a expressed communicative in a high content of intentionality.
