This abstract artwork features a striking composition of bold colors, geometric shapes, and dynamic lines. The canvas is dominated by vibrant shades of red, blue, and black, which create a sense of depth and movement. The geometric forms, including triangles and rectangles, are juxtaposed with organic, linear elements that add a sense of tension and energy to the piece. The artist's distinctive style and technique blend elements of Cubism and Expressionism, blending representational and abstract elements to evoke a sense of emotional intensity and intellectual complexity. This avant-garde work reflects the artist's exploration of the subconscious and their intention to challenge traditional artistic conventions. ...
Working in painting, installation, sound and performance, Jacopo Pagin creates art historically charged enigmas. The artist's paintings depict elongated objects and figures, misty in the soft colours and fluid movement of his composition. Inspired by nature and its psychological ramifications, Pagin blends night and day, reality and representation, illusion and decoration. Evoking traditions of Rococo and Neoclassicism, he continuously places the familiar imagery within unexpected, elegant tropes. The ephemeral colour palette of his paintings is inspired by Fata Morgana, an Italian folklore myth that the sea's horizon at dusk and dawn is the creation of witches. Magic, illusion and murano glass run through Pagin’s works, alluding to the role of painting in the concepts of time, history and perception.
