Antonio Sgarbossa: Perceptual Unveiling.
The Architecture of the Fragment: Between Memory and Abstraction
With this new cycle of works on panel, Antonio Sgarbossa's pictorial research takes a further and refined conceptual leap. Central to the artist's aesthetic reflection is the concept of "perceptual unveiling," an intuition that draws nourishment from the intimate and symbolic act of opening a book. The pages are no longer simple narrative supports, but become dimensional thresholds where figurative fragments and geometric purity are broken down and recomposed in a visual symphony that recalls the logic and compositional tension of a puzzle.
"My creative process focuses on the use of figuration to achieve abstraction through a multiplicity of chromatic combinations." — Antonio Sgarbossa.
In these works, the artist does not simply paint subjects; he orchestrates spatial tensions. The initial figuration—whether a tribute to classical sculpture or an exploration of relational dynamics—progressively dissolves into an abstract score in which color, oil paint, and geometry interact in a perfect balance of opposing forces.
Antonio Sgarbossa's new creations, protected by fine varnishes and guaranteed by authentication and stamp, confirm the maturity of a master capable of renewing his language without betraying its soul. For Gemnexus, Sgarbossa's art thus takes the form of an initiatory journey: an invitation to look beyond the visible surface, reassembling the fragments of an ever-evolving interior universe.
