Fabrizio Corneli
The expressive language of the Tuscan artist explores the dialectical interplay between light and shadow through the study of optical, perceptual, and perspectival mechanisms.
Like the artists of the Renaissance, Corneli combines art, mathematics, and the science of vision, recreating effects of refraction, decomposition, and anamorphosis that engage the viewer in a pure perceptual experience.
His works emerge as unexpected luminous revelations from three-dimensional objects such as copper and brass prisms, or even from small carved eggs; alternatively, they are made of shadows and take shape through glass spheres or extremely thin metal sheets.
His images are never the result of a clear opposition between light and shadow, but rather are revealed within the continuum of nuances that exist between these two dimensions.
In our present reality, saturated with immediate, hyper-defined, and relentless images, his approach invites us to rediscover an awareness of vision.
