ROBERTO DAOLIO, 1989

 

         Purity, vibration, transparency, luminosity and construction are not only crucial terms that can adhere to the complex and tenacious entirety of Paolo Gubinelli's work, for the more or less lyrical transposition of the sense of an exploration destined to undergo modification and advance on the ground of subtle and sensibly controlled variations.  Of course, it is not easy to preserve the sense and rhythm of shapes and signs, animated by a reflexive analytical will, in the proliferation of mnemonic pulsions and in nostalgic reminiscences of a past ineluctable and, at the same time, "to forget."

         Gubinelli, in any event, perceives the weight (or perhaps it would be better to say the obstructive "lightness") of a lyrical abstraction destined to consume itself in the true and living space of the environment, through the fragile structure of a geometric framework conducted over the rhythms of folds, cuts and even tears.  Indeed, so much as to inform and warn that the reflexive and, for certain aspects, rational nature of the overall constructive game opens up to a sort of instability and precariousness as a different order.  Different, especially, from a cartography of sentiments which often camouflages, under the aegis of control and hybridisation, the concrete measuring of perceptive micro-structures, almost prevented from qualifying themselves and instead revealed as explicit and evident patterns.  Without shirking legitimate and, for certain aspects, changing expressive sensibilisation, Gubinelli with measured detachment conserves the limit imposed on the evocation or the germination of the sign strewn with obligatory relations and passages.  Whether they be determined by a punctual rigour of composition or instead "veiled" and assimilated to the flowing liquidity of colour.

         As we see in the works of his latest period, characterised by an amalgamation and support of the constructive order of incisions, cuts and scratches in a process of pictorial osmosis, aimed at condensing on the surface the "full-bodied" ineffability of an event.

         As the pure erasure of papers and cardboards, folded and cut to subvert a soberly constructed spatiality in an auto-referential and tautological analysis, has contributed to solicit distance and uniqueness also in design, now the more fluid, free and wiser use of colour reproposes an indecipherable evocative enchantment.  The order and disorder of a linguistic combination, which is anything but instrumental, exhibit a new participation, more intimate, but not for this reason wandering in an excessively easy and affected lyricism.
