GIORGIO GRIFFA – LUCE BUIO

Posted on 2022-09-26

Giorgio Griffa is primarily known for his painted canvases that are nailed directly to the wall — unprimed, unframed and unstretched — the majority of which are executed in a luminous palette of desaturated colours. The canvases are folded when not exhibited, which creates visible creases that become a vital part of the work. At first glance, it is hard to differentiate the paintings of fifty years ago with those made recently. A closer study of the oeuvre, however, reveals the existence of eleven major cycles, ranging from the Segni primari [primary marks] series of 1967 to the latest Dilemma paintings. Each corpus has a start date, but not an end. Furthermore, certain works belong to more than one cycle, as different creative trajectories intersect and merge into each other. As the artist himself asserts, the cycles co-exist side by side, being neither stages of progress nor regression, but simply continuous variations of ‘becoming’.

Created by the wife and husband team of Michelle Delgado and Gino Ybarra, the unusual hybrid carries the slow, peaceful pace of the snail with its overall shape and graceful shell. The more ferocious shark DNA shows through in the squared off head, side-facing eyes, and dorsal fin.
