Diego Carchesio - Gold Collision

• Artist
Diego Carchesio (Chieti, Italy, 1990)
Italian contemporary artist, founder of the artistic research DIETRO LA TELA – L'architettura dell'inversione, a language that subverts the traditional concept of painting by transforming the back of the canvas into the main space of the work. His research explores the relationship between visible and invisible, matter and light, structure and surface, through an execution process developed on the rear side of the canvas.

His works have been presented in national and international exhibitions, and his research has been included in the CAM Mondadori Modern Art Catalogue no. 61 (2026).

• Description of the work
Created in 2022, Gold Collision belongs to the initial phase of the study that will lead Diego Carchesio to the birth of the artistic research DIETRO LA TELA. Although it predates the gesture of painting on the back of the canvas, the work anticipates its fundamental principles: the investigation of light, matter, and perception.

The composition develops through fragments of gold leaf emerging from a deep blue-green phthalocyanine background, creating a visual tension between depth and brightness. At first glance the surface appears almost black, but it is precisely natural light that reveals its true nature: the color gradually changes, allowing the intense tones of blue and phthalo green to emerge, continually transforming the observer's perception of the work.

The title Gold Collision calls to mind the meeting of matter and light, where gold does not assume a decorative function but becomes the hub of a visual dialogue in constant evolution. This continuous perceptual variation makes each viewing unique, turning light into an active element and an integral part of the work itself.
