Maurizio Camatta

MAURIZIO CAMATTA

Italian artist Maurizio Camatta is an extraordinary presence in the contemporary art world.

Having received a solid education in the arts, he now lives and works in Refrontolo (Treviso).

Through his art he presents a unique interpretation of his homeland, Veneto, whilst keeping up with his European contemporaries.

As an Abstract Expressionist, his use of colour appears haphazard, provoking an emotional response in the viewer. These are dust explosions, rockets blazing through the layers of atmosphere, rainy skies and steamed up windows.

The paintings have an oddly meditative quality to them, allowing the mind to drift off over the Turneresque skies to better places, completely absorbed.

After this initial magnetism and beauty of colour, you’ll find that there is something ‘other’ lurking beneath the aesthetic.

The forms express themselves in the physicality of the chalks and plaster.

There are games of volumes and signs, contrasts, bright chromaticisms, and nothing is there by accident- there is a sinister order in the chaos.

Camatta’s artistic process is more precise than it appears, with every shade and overlap engineered to achieve perfect equilibrium.

This expressive artist is pure scientist, his paintings do not end in the traditional sense, but are designed to resonate with the viewer long after.
