Breaking Darkness by Alessandro Giannì

Will the image survive the future? Walking through Alessandro Giannì's works conceived for his solo exhibition at Tang Gallery in Bangkok, this question can arise like a distant echo, a faint voice that resurfaces as if fixed in time, as if asked by a past that is still alive. Of this still-living past, the first to give trace of it are the subjects Giannì portrays: excerpts of subjects from Renaissance paintings live on and merge into utterly new forms and vivid, current colors. They are recognizable and at the same time unrecognizable, familiar and at the same time undefinable subjects. They stand out among vivid red backgrounds or seem to merge into multicolored cascades. They are parts of past works that in Giannì's canvases have lost their author, albeit endlessly quoting him.
