GEPPY PISANELLI - NO MAN'S LANDS
Kips gallery is pleased to present Terre di Nessuno (No Man's Lands) an exhibition of recent paintings by Italian artist Geppy Pisanelli who has lived and worked in New York since 2007. This will be the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and his third solo show in New York. The opening reception will be held on Thursday, May 2, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. During the opening at 7:00 pm, will be a performance of Metropolitan Opera House’s violinist, Pathmore Lewis.
The large oils on canvas displayed at the gallery emphasize the stylistic touch of the artist: drawing as the foundation of a rigorously constructed image, strong chromatic contrasts and a clear and refined conceptual component.
At first glance, the subjects depicted in Terre di Nessuno may seem to be part of reality. However, they do not reproduce it. They represent a starting point guiding the viewer towards another dimension, a mental space, a "no man's land," where the images may take on different meanings. The observer's analysis in the interpretation of the work may refer to its content or to its formal structure.
In conclusion, Pisanelli's sense of research materializes in artwork imposing a continuous semantic shift in all that pertains both the form and the content.
