About the Item

The stylistic and conceptual choices of Giacomo Modolo's research place the discourse on Form at the forefront, particularly through the depiction of felines, the undisputed protagonists of the new works, both from a symbolic perspective and for their anatomy, which the artist finds deeply satisfying. Starting from Form, the paintings evolve with a strong decorative foundation derived from Modolo's academic training, alternating more fluid planes with schematic ones, moving from an illustrative and narrative aspect toward a line of inquiry reminiscent of the manifesto. Painting that is at times more gestural is alternated with solutions and flat fields of color, highlighting the different phases between planning and execution. The animals, guardians of the composition, merge with the abstract landscape, which often transforms into flame (a purifying bonfire) or into a flag (as a search for an identity that already persisted in previous works). Among psychedelic flames and fumes, images burn and regenerate through the continuous exchange of lines, aimed at shaping the weave of a narrative texture. Decoration and gesture create iconic imaginaries, almost graphic manifestos with fluid, theatrical, and overtly illustrative features. And it is within this ritual that flags, ferocious animals, and relationships are thrown into the fire-everything that becomes a symbol of the artist's everyday certainties, such as the sense of belonging to something or to someone. "Blaze, using musical terms that feel more familiar to me, is not a complete album but rather a 'demo' of a few tracks: written in the midst of an already established career and committed to tracing a page-albeit an experimental one-of change (both aesthetic and spiritual)."
