About the Item
UK based artist Melanie Berman explores the intrinsic values of her materials whilst infusing her work with a personal language and signature palettes. Her delicious abstract paintings contain variously delicate and strong gestural organic coloured shapes and marks. The non-objective also interests her, as she translates sound into color and illusionistic forces into lines. The initial marks made on the canvas or wooden panels are embedded in layers of paint, some of these are later excavated through various techniques.
Berman adapted her approach to painting and materiality whilst experiencing a period in her life of visual impairment. This period of time heightened her sensory experience and spiritual process adding to a visual language of imagination and new forms of communication. The tactile rustic surfaces articulate the full rawness of authentic compassionate realities. Colour burst onto the surfaces as an act of freedom, whilst incorporating historical or current storytelling. The embedded layered surfaces became a metaphorical palimpsest of indigenous ways and landscapes in their own right. Using thick opaque layers of paint on an intimate scale a tactility developed. As thought, turning the paintings into objects to be held and to bring the viewer closer. Acknowledging inter subjectiveness markings and erasure, whilst at the same time acknowledging forms of transformation, a new soulful contemporary abstraction emerged.

- ABSTRACT Artwork by Contemporary Artist Giorgio Petracci 2023Located in BARCELONA, ESIf painting still respects a logic that legitimizes its practice and existence in our hyper-saturated civilization of the image, it is its ability to break the representation, to open a crack on the slippery LCD surface behind which reality takes shape and action, a crack that even if it was imperceptible, has permanent and incisive effects, destined as it is to open more and more. And it’s just around the idea of the crack that Giorgio Petracci...Category
