Stefano Francis Spelar

“Fresh, free, healthy.” This is how Stefano Francis Spelar, born in 1980, an Italian-American who obtained his BLA in France and looks at life with the eyes of Rome, defines his painting. A strongly gestural painting that rides on matter, with canvases that entangle the joys of color and objects into canvas; objects are subtracted from their everyday connotation to be placed in the artist's domain. Pebbles, pencils, sacks, brushes, toy cars and even combs and hairdresser's rolls, harnessed in laces of pigment: nothing escapes this pastiche of irony. Elements that, crystallized in a new dimension, intertwine with each other and sometimes mingle with writings and graffiti, giving life to new meanings and revisiting experience, individual and collective. Stefano is an artist: he writes poetry, plays music, paints, acts and has worked in film. Born and raised in Rome and matured in France with a Bachelor in Liberal Arts at the American University of Paris, he knows the técne and its history inside out. He reveals himself to be subtly and purposely citationist out of affinity, admiration and cerebral attunement with the Masters, not out of sterile emulation. He is surrealistically vagabond like Dali. He loves the objet trouvé like Ducha...
