Marco Pariani, ONLY BIO THINGS
«Selfishness, routine, comfort, religious beliefs, status symbols, handed-down customs, are just some of the key words I use to create cycles of works». Marco Pariani is an informal painter, certainly, but not an abstract one. And not only because of the possibility of tracing familiar forms of objects or environments in his paintings, but because what emerges forcefully on the canvas is the weave of a lived life, recognisable as his and ours. The work he presented is an overall installation made up of large canvases but also of fabrics that climb up the wall to address the theme of routine at the centre of his research today. Habit is an unconscious but not passive gesture, in which we drown vices and virtues, bleaknesses that perhaps we should not accept and glimmers that we should start looking at again.
