Technique: black pen on canvas

WORK

For me this work is fundamental, because it marks an important transition in my practice: I managed to bring onto the canvas what I used to do only on paper. In the beginning I drew with a pen on paper, building this style made of rhythm and repetition; with “Bolla” I transferred the same energy and the same language onto canvas, always with the pen.

I decided to call this work “Bolla” because the main image is like a bubble suspended in space. Inside this circular shape moves a very dense web of signs, as if it contained many micro-worlds: fragments, jigsaws and paths that overlap and change depending on where you look.

I like to think of it a bit like looking at clouds: at first you see only one shape, but the more you observe, the more you begin to recognize other figures and other “drawings” inside it. “Bolla” works like that: it is a unique container, but inside there are infinite possible readings.

The line is not a true one line as in graffiti, but it evokes it: it has the same idea of continuity and movement. At the same time it also approaches doodle art, that spontaneous gesture of doodling—like when a person is on the phone and, without thinking too much, fills the page with signs and shapes.

Actually my search started exactly like this: during the Covid period, shut at home and bored, I began to doodle. From that boredom it became a method, a rhythm, and then a language. “Bolla” also carries this origin: a simple gesture that, when repeated and transformed, becomes a world.

ARTIST

I am Pietro Fight, a visual artist based in Milan. My research is a “writing of the gesture”: sign- and calligraphy-like abstractions where circular modules and networks of signs build rhythm, density and breath. I’m interested in weight in space, the balance between fullness and emptiness, between accumulation and suspension, between the intensity of the mark and zones of visual silence. This language emerged in 2020, during the Covid period, turning the boredom of daily routine repeated into construction and variation. From that origin also comes my signature “Corona,” a direct trace of that time (coronavirus): the artist’s name is Pietro Fight, while the signature on the works is “Corona.” Even if the method is repetitive, each work remains unrepeatable, because every circle and every trace are always different.
