Giorgio Bevignani born in 1955 in Città di Castello (PG) is a multi-faceted artist working with unconventional materials across various formats including painting and sculpture. Bevignani currently lives and works in the countryside near Bologna, where he molds and forms diverse materials into distinctive conglomerations, round-like forms, that aggregate into larger constructions, relating the smaller elements to the larger form which are arranged and mounted together to create a larger, cohesive work. His creativity, which is considerable, emerges in the elegant combination of technical skill and conceptual knowledge.. Using special patinas, phosphorus tints, and colours, his idiosyncrasy of composition and form, both so playful and magical, combined and merged with a certain charm, create something new to the world. Bevignani’s work has a real presence, his connection to nature and culture, his organic plasticity, his use of positive and negative spaces, filled with awareness of form, create a body of work that seems to float, that go beyond our understanding of gravity, time, space, light, and balance.
One of his last project, the serie "Il Silenzio Nudo" is theresult from an experimentation on silicone that, mixed with color on a base of several chromatic layers, confers depth to surfaces by exploiting the layering typical of sculpture rather than the painting technique of chiaroscuro. The result is a semi-transparent patina that resembles an organic tissue as soft and supple as skin under the fingers.
In the following statement, the artist himself insightfully describes the sensations we feel when we approach these paintings in a way that invites us to penetrate this material made of transparencies and hazes, and almost pierce its surface as though it were denser, thicker and deeper than the actual layers patiently applied by the artist on the panels.
“Leopardi’s verses guide me in an hypnotic, almost dreamlike kind of gesture; the spatula slides on the surfaces and adds layer over layer of material and color until the fully focused image conveys a slight glow in the distance. It resembles the image you see when you close your eyes after looking at the sun. Although it slightly burns the retina, it leaves you still able to look at the image. It slowly penetrates – you just have to give it time; its power is slow and requires time.” (Giorgio Bevignani)
Recently the MOA Museum in Atami (Japan) acquired one of his artworks for its permanent collection and he has been invited in 2020 from Indixia Foundation in a big event in New York in the Sundaram Tagore Gallery of Chelsea.
