Maurizio Valch (1972) - (XL) CONGERIES · Lines around a turning mass

Across a dark, shifting terrain, incandescent red breaks against pools of teal, while thin white trajectories stitch the surface from edge to edge. The painting holds motion and suspension in the same breath: fractured forms seem to emerge, drift, or signal across an unstable field. Its decisive detail is the fragile brightness of those lines, which asks whether a path can still be trusted when the ground itself appears to change beneath it.

I needed this painting to remain unsettled. I am drawn to the instant when orientation gives way, yet something small and bright continues to mark a direction. For me, painting is not a map of certainty but a place where conflicting impulses can coexist: urgency with stillness, darkness with a form of attention. I paint toward the possibility that being lost may also sharpen the senses.

I am interested in how a form can remain isolated and still alter what surrounds it. I do not seek to make these marks describe a path or have their relationships resolve into a recognizable figure. I work with the possibility that a surface can retain traces of passage, boundaries, and presences that never fully reveal themselves. Sometimes, a minimal distance between two elements is enough to change the meaning of the entire territory.
