Paolo Pibi uses the landscape as an iconographic pretext for a painting that explores the perceptual boundaries of reality in terms of vision.
Through a retinal grammar, the artist paints ambiguous images that suggest the idea of a modified, artificial landscape, which in some ways resembles a mental construct.
Pibi addresses the issue of image formation and their delineation in the concrete field of painterly practice through an erratic, exploratory method.
The artist, in fact, does not plan the images in advance but finds them, so to speak, “in progress,” using language as a cognitive discipline that allows him to learn something about himself and the world.
What he discovers is that the real world and the virtual world of painting are both the result of a mental and psychological projection. The artist’s paintings, in fact, reveal a reality that both underlies and transcends landscape morphology, unveiling the geometric nature and thus the schematic and constructive essence of optical experience.
