Is it possible to eternally paint the same picture, while modifying it each time? The work of Gianni Politi (Rome, 1986) oscillates between figurative and abstract art, through a series of processes in which one completes, feeds and gives meaning to the other. Working for years on the same portrait, initially created to be reproduced in small format, but gradually acquiring larger and larger dimensions until reaching very large formats, the series of figurative paintings has been juxtaposed over time with the artist's more abstract work. Using classic materials and in line with Italian painting tradition, Politi's artistic philosophy revolves around concepts such as life, death, memory and rebirth. The exhibition includes a new installation, in which a new work is in dialogue with a series of abstract paintings—created from the assemblage and juxtaposition of pre-existing colored canvases—and sculpted zoomorphic elements depicting frogs, amphibians that in many cultures symbolize both the concept of metamorphosis and that of crossing the threshold between worlds.
