In the Umbrian region, cradle of the pre-Renaissance era, important for those first realistic sparksspark that sprang from nature and from those empirical forms of spatial representation, lives Carlo Mirabasso.
A humble yet thoughtful artist who, intelligently, combines a way of painting with geometric and rhythmic touches and that primordial expressive immediacy of volumes of the medieval world, perhaps the embryo of all modern art to come.
A "delicate harmony" that in his panel paintings, like 14th-century altarpieces, between studies of pre-Cubist matrix and verticality of landscapes, completes itself in his painting techniques, almost marble-like; charged with subtle material symbolism with mural meaning in which the fresco technique re-emerges and, in that tranquility of places dear to De Chirico, where space and time stop in the frame’s image, Mirabasso returns to the surface sensations of metaphysical memory.
