Pietro Fight - DETTAGLIO

OPERA

“Detail” is born from a simple gesture: taking a fragment of one of my paintings and taking it outside, enlarging it until it becomes an autonomous work. I chose to isolate a portion of the weave – the part where the mark intertwines and creates positives and negatives – and reproduce it on an XXL canvas (150 × 110 cm).

The idea is to give space to what in my work is often discovered only when approached: the micro-signs, the interlocks, the minimal variations, everything that happens “inside” the surface. Here that world is no longer a hidden detail, but becomes the main subject: an abstract black-and-white writing, dense and rhythmic, inviting you to lose yourself among the particulars.

In this sense “Detail” is an enlargement, but also a choice: transforming the intimacy of the detail into a physical, large presence that forces you to look slowly and up close.

ARTIST

I am Pietro Fight, an Italian visual artist, born in 1992, based in Milan. My research fits within the realm of signatory abstraction, a strand of abstract art developed mainly after World War II, where the mark becomes an autonomous visual language: it does not describe recognizable figures but builds rhythm, density, tension, and breathing space within the work. My work arises from a writing of gesture made of circular modules and nets of signs, with which I seek balance between positives and negatives, accumulation and suspension, intensity of the mark and zones of visual silence. I work on canvas with different techniques, layering glazes and markings to put chromatic fields and the black sign in dialogue; I am interested in both a tight black-and-white pairing and the use of sharp chromatic contrasts.

This language of mine emerged in 2020, during the Covid period, when I transformed the boredom of the daily routine into a process made of repetition, rhythm, and small variations. From that period also derives the signature “Corona,” a direct trace of that time (coronavirus). The mark I trace is instantaneous and records the mechanics of my mind: even when it appears serial, it varies according to mood and the inner “noise” of the moment. For this reason, even within a repeated grammar, every trace is different and every work remains irreproducible.
