Luigi Rossanigo (1948) - Exit

The work for auction is an outwardly protruding polycarbonate piece from the “Exit” series – these are geometric shapes made with spheres of varying colors (in this case yellow and one red), and almost by enchantment a red sphere seems to attempt to break free from the static state to which it was predestined, thus creating a wonderful outward projection from the transparent support while leaving intact the form created by the artist when viewed from the front. All this, however, leaves room for the viewer’s interpretation, as the living presences of the outward projection engage in dialogue with the observer.

Signature on the back – authenticating the artist, hand-signed on the photo with the artist’s archive number – shipped within 3 days in a well-packaged, trackable, insured parcel — artwork signed on the back.

Thus the titles are born – Flights, School of Flight, Transparencies, Exit, Souvenir in Space, Help, Meditation, Sublimation, Spatial Games, Archaeologies, etc….

Unfortunately the photos are compromised by the relief of the polycarbonate; in reality the work is seen very clearly and truly opens to a thousand interpretations.

…The deformed canvas communicates the presence of ideas that press, demand space, pulsate in a balanced play of fullness and emptiness (here again the sculptural masses), they come to life, disappear quickly, in a dynamic vortex that the rippled canvas communicates with immediacy. This result, notable and original, is attributed to the tenacious search of Rossanigo; the first attempts date back to 1972, which led the artist to ultimately move the surface of the canvas and much more.

—Today Rossanigo achieves a milestone hitherto unexplored, surely unique in the national panorama and beyond, thus abandoning the heritage of the 1900s to go further and render his artistic research more timely than ever. He works on the transparency of the outwardly protruding support to highlight that entire unknown world that lies beneath the skin of space, whether it is monochromatic or not. Thus we discover the possibility of protruding or manipulating materials such as plexiglass, polycarbonate, or other transparent materials which, in their nature of transparency, still reflect what surrounds them, creating a new mysterious world made of staticity and enigmatic exoduses. And so the ideas pressing under the canvas now appear as if by magic in a variety of transfigurations and forms made with found objects or everyday items or produced by the artist, thereby translating a physical equation of velocity into a boundless space–time dimension…
