Alberto Ballocca - Photosynthesis - XXL

阿尔贝托·巴洛卡（出生于1993年，意大利都灵）在绘画与雕塑领域工作，过程根植于直觉、积累以及对未知的刻意屈从。\n他的颜料来自来源而非购买——火山岩尘、来自都灵郊外古老林地土壤的赭石、从纺织生产回收的工业染料、用于古代修复的高耐久矿物颜料。\n这位艺术家的背景自学成才，在技术与工作室研究方面具有独特之处，与强烈的古典灵感相联系，尽管存在敏感因素。\n他的作品在2024年先后在意大利、伦敦、阿姆斯特丹和北京展出，既有群展也有个人展，现将参加五月在纽约举行的Focus Fair。\n进入不同的公私机构收藏，如帕埃斯托姆的Museo M.m.m.a.c、都灵的阿尔贝蒂娜学院，以及韩国 Czong 当代艺术研究院。阿尔贝托正通过他的艺术实践，为当前关于古代哲学结构在技术应用中的共性探寻开辟出独特而更新的表达。\n\n混合媒介。完美状态。画布上使用油、颜料和喷枪，尺寸为85 × 115厘米（33" × 45"）。前后均以墨水签名。卷装运输。\n\n"Photosynthesis is a term rooted in the ancient Greek philosophical syllabic concept of (Ph.y.sis gr. "Nature") and explores the enigmatic process by which plants transform sunlight into nourishment. Using the Winged Victory statue in Turin's Parco della Rimembranza (copy of Greek Nike) as a symbolic medium; Nature, which remains the fundamental axiom underlying every mathematical theorem is the only mirror we have as humans to understand societal perceptions in a renewed light. The dominant component is cyclicality, with symbolic elements reappearing in various forms, upgraded by looped recollection of ideas and impulses as natural cycles work."
