Stefano Mazzolini

Stefano Mazzolini was born in Parma in 1968. In 1989 he obtained the diploma of Master of Art in pictorial decoration at the Paolo Toschi Institute in Parma. He shows his graphic style in a gestural and immediate way, the dynamic line creates drops of acrylic on paper. Piloted stains well managed without following drawings and projects, thus replacing the brush with vials and spatula. In his most recent production the shadow seems to win over the light, the luminescence is the common denominator that transfigures the visible in every form, traces a memory with contours of dazzling impulses as if to reveal the soul that every living and non-living form generates the same matter. They emerge like many electric discharges, traces that the deterioration of time leads to the disintegration of the matter itself, creating holes of absence, discrepancies in the fabric that between the textures of the physical composition generates a sort of memory of the subject, thus telling the true origins of the depicted subject. Still lifes, inventions, bodies, objects are depicted with a restless expressiveness as if they had passed through a memory scanner, a plate of the past in which it lived on its own energy and today with the degradation of time the aura of memory remains.
