Giuseppe Linardi

GIUSEPPE LINARDI

Giuseppe Linardi was born in Buenos Aires in 1971 and graduated from the Academy of Fine Art in Florence. Now based in Follonica, his artistic career spans over two contrasting phases- at first devoted to hyperrealism, Linardi’s technique has now developed into a more spontaneous style.

The new paintings evolve through elaborate methods of paint dripping, enriched with unusual colours and resins. Linardi is a versatile artist, also known for his installation and sculptural work.

Giuseppe Linardi’s Decoded exhibition for Hay Hill Gallery is an unusual visual experience, providing the pieces of the puzzle for us to put together ourselves. A matrix of optical sensations, a magnified magic-eye picture, bit-maps, zoetropes, a network of zeros and ones, tessellating rotating planes, dots and dashes, digitally grown gardens, interactive screens, in the blink of an eye, shutter speed, pixilation, remote access, programming, advanced mathematics, leaves, stalks, branches, intersecting, digital traces, communication, satellite tracking, encrypted code, data driven, manipulation of pigment, virtual realities, prismic swarms, DNA, everything has its own pattern , all is connected, formula, atoms dissipating, unlocking and deciphering the universe, cells.

‘We must not be caged in certain logic; I used to make images as real as possible, but now they have become dismembered, fragmented. Those paintings that were so perfect have exploded and shattered into a thousand brushstrokes; they require deeper reading skills to discover the subject, revealed slowly as in a game of Chinese boxes. The viewer is mesmerized by the decoding of signs, reminded of the chaos of the contemporary world.’
