Alessandro Pessoli
November 14 – December 20, 1997
Alessandro Pessoli created works that, as the artist had noted, were like a stormy flood of figures, voids, signs, words, and writings outlined in light. Using a unique process that reserved areas of untouched white paper, Pessoli presented a world of spidery figures, looming phantoms, and lacy architectural forms all illuminated and framed by intricate and exuberant patterns. As if to signify the self-sufficiency of this imaginary world, Pessoli allowed all of the ink to absorb in the paper's surface, rendering his shimmering forms at an always elusive distance.
