About this artwork

At a stage of my life I delved a lot into psychology and also had to face daunting situations and excruciating decisions: this work shows a couple in bed in a dubious and arguably ambiguous position, they are certainly not embraced, the left seems to reaching for a bed light, the right silhouettes waits in a pensive pose. What I tried to portray is a lack of clear communication or even a silent treatment which makes you wonder in a relationship what… is the actual state of affairs. Like in optics there are indeed phenomena such as optical illusions (which are added all around the work with relevant captions) so in loving matters you can indeed bump into a state where you see things and you projects wishes that do not exist.

Pier Forlano is an multimedia artist known for his impactful expression of the concept of fragility, be it psychological, political or territorial. He uses tree bark, paper layering or model figurines and techniques that vary from acrylic to collage, from bas-relief to miniature dioramas. The main tenets of his production are sculpted paintings that add a depth to the vision. Recurrently he deals with themes of separation from other human beings, from nature and the desire to recuperate feeling and tackle unconscious taboos. Tribal art, surrealism, symbolism and graffiti art remain his possible inspirational starting blocks, together with big political topics such as environment and the populist parties. The Palais des Beaux Arts of Charleroi is presently showing two of his works. He believes that the task of an artist is to shine a light on the untold and uncomfortable or to reveal a strong emotion. His concept of fine art reclaims good composition and intensity of the message.
