GIOELE AMARO

For this new show, Amaro has painted horizons, or, rather, the spirit of the horizon as seen from a window, an airplane window, or even through a smartphone screen.

Like his previous series DigitalDust, in which he revisited historical masterpieces, Amaro tends to reduce these stolen moments to the simplest particle of their own colours. However, in this series, he does not call on collective memory, but appeals to our subconscious and individual history. Like screenshots of our emotions, Amaro’s paintings seem to plumb our souls, seeking the memory of a meaningful moment or a magical interval. Gioele Amaro’s paintings are allegorical representations of passing time. With these vanities 3.0, he chooses to depict a kind of fragility and grace, inviting us on a poetic journey of a very different nature.

With his control of digital painting, Amaro has captured and materialised the emotion of an instant, while defying digital art skeptics.

Gioele Amaro is an Italian painter born in 1986. He lives and works in Milan and Paris.
