Paolo Molinari Exhibition – 5th February to 4 March 2016

 

Paolo Molinari exhibition at Art Space Gallery

 

‘Surrealist ‘shadow paintings’ as ‘found memories’. Paolo Molinari (b. 1963, London) depicts in his unique language ancestral recollections from Emilia-Romagna. Heavily painted on the reverse, ethereal and dreamy images emerge on the embossed canvas’. https://www.list.co.uk/event/20859316-paolo-molinari-mountain-language-exhibition-of-paintings/

The paintings of the houses and buildings was atmospheric and I preferred them without the people…  The process of painting on the back of the canvas to produce this effect was interesting.
