Works

**The last painting** – 1977- Acrylics on punched canvas – cm. 130×170

This works, as from the title, documents the abandonnement of canvas painting. The creation of the Filo that followed and the final detachment of color from the surface has permitted to the matter/color to claim back its acrylic “plasticity” and later to reinvent its own art history.

The Filo makes its first official appearance in 1977 creating a BRIDGING STATEMENT between art/artist and public.

The Filo never was bought and sold. I always donated it, disperse it and symbolically exchanged it. The Filo is not a thing that one can sell, if any one can tie it to a site or a memory, or disperse it secretly, or to be depicted, to be quoted on other objects, to be melt, sculpted, photographed, embroidered, or used in a peformance….

Giovanni, mio figlio con sindrome di Down di quindici anni, ed io per quattro mesi abbiamo lavorato insieme a questo progetto

TREMONDI + UNO.

Ogni giorno un segno ed ogni mese un colore primario diverso per concludere con il bianco simbolo della primarietà del nostro legame. Su questi “mondi” abbiamo incrociatole nostre mani, le nostre idee, le fantasie e le paure e in maniera tangibile le nostre vite.

Giovanni, my fefteen years old son with down syndrome and I, have worked together for four months on this project

TREMONDI + UNO

Every day a sign and every month a primary color background concluding with the white one symbolic of the primariness of our bond. On this “worlds” we have crossed our hands, our ideas, our fantasies, our fears thus in a tangible way…our lives.
