MARCO CRIVELLO: Possible Worlds
9th – 13th September 2008
Four Square Fine Arts is delighted to announce this forthcoming exhibition “Possible Worlds” by Marco Crivello to be held in the Upper Level of the Air Gallery, London W1. It is the first solo exhibition by Crivello for five years.
Marco Crivello (born 1963) works predominantly in oils yet finds constant inspiration through the unforeseen fusion of different media such as cellulose spray paint, salt, acrylics and dutch gold leaf and has become as Julian Bell describes him, a “masterly technician”. Natural organic processes of oxidation and patination are gently controlled to develop “an artistic synthesis, which speaks directly to us and resonates with an unmistakable spiritual ring.” Crivello’s paintings are grounded in the natural world, a world where the familiar is finely balanced at the point where our perceptions may yield to abstraction. In his new body of work ‘Possible Worlds’ he continues to mine a rich seam whose aesthetic appeal owes much to an improvised way of working, where a broad palette of materials transmute to mimic natural formative processes, evoking impressions of frozen activity from a remote geological past, or of a fluid elemental universe ceaselessly becoming.
The introduction of the circular form and for the first time in this exhibition, asymmetrical shapes further enhances a play on scale, connecting micro and macro worlds, inviting a contemplation of the connections between nature and artifice, chaos and order.
