About this artwork
This abstract and simple geometry painting plays and confronts light and shadow. A "golden" and transparent glaze, yellowish-red in color, covers and marks, as if it were a thin curtain, the thin border that separates it from the dark and almost black area, which tends to overflow.
But the painting also hides a certain ambiguity; the almost black allows a zone of light to appear at the top, as if it were a reflection, and the golden glaze (due to… its "filtered" appearance) seems to contain the light but does not really shine.
"For Gabriele Fettolini, painting is like a perpetual movement, an infinite becoming a metaphor of human nature, which is not based on inspiration but on a discomfort that generates reflections, ideas and emotions that are reflected on the canvas". (Press release)

« Creating is leaving a visible "trail" where concerns and desires converge. The painting is the frame that allows me to give it visibility. »
Established Swiss artist Gabriele Fettolini's striking artworks do not ask questions or tell stories, instead they are rhythmic and expressive representations of the balance of life. The dualism between the body and mind, reality and aspirations, the weight of matter and the transcendence of spirit.
Producing his abstract pieces in a spontaneous environment gives Gabriele the freedom to make each piece truly unique, building and eroding layers his artworks are richly textured and beautifully colored. Each canvas is full of juxtapositions, emptiness and luminosity, beauty and tragedy, ephemeral and transitory the viewer is free to make up their own mind.
Gabriele has exhibited his artwork extensively throughout Europe, his pieces are held in numerous permanent collections.
