(...) In today's disquieting artistic
panorama appears the "abstract" production of Paolo Gubinelli,
painter faithful to his own feeling past fashion and dermal
solicitations of the times and "customs" of art today. I remember four years ago when
in the full trans-avantgarde movement, with the same conviction of today,
I was introduced to his works on paper, cut and wounded, invaded by
white light before all else. At that time, I catalogued him as an unusual painter, a lone
wolf among organised groups and arrays; I was perplexed by his subtle,
almost "weak" effort of intervening on the paper, cutting
impalpable pastel-coloured signs. They
were new worlds, unexplored horizons, lyrical and gentle abstractions,
heavenly and aquatic games of transparences, light and delicate
sensations almost impossible to define, as the Poet affirms, so arduous
as "da significar per verba."
Something reminiscent of
an ancient Tuscany, Dante's paradise, Petrarch, impalpable lightness of
colour and support over all else, a substance like a geographical map,
nurtured with Petrarchian resonance and disquiet, where one can no
longer read the names of places or waterways. Humanist and "stilnovist,"
paradisiacal and terrestrial, he employs a "different" way, a
new way to speak of things, to evoke painting and the unlimited,
unforseeable terrain of its possibilities.
