Upcoming show: Out of Disorder. 108 - Eltono - Erosie
Opening December 1st, 18-20.30
From December 1st, 2022 to February 4th, 2023
Antonio Colombo is pleased to present Out of Disorder, the new exhibition that explores today's trends in abstract wall painting, with three of its most important and internationally renowned exponents: the Italian artist 108 (at his fifth show in the gallery), the Dutch artist Erosie and the French mural painter Eltono.
The critic Vittorio Parisi, specialized in urban art and contemporary muralism, has been asked to describe this exhibition.
"To get out of chaos without erasing chaos": with this phrase, Gilles Deleuze tackled the question of abstract painting, underlining its ability to transform chaos into cosmos, without however allowing the latter to disavow the former Great abstract painting is, to all effects, a way for force disorder into a form, producing images that do not resemble anything, but precisely for this reason have a universal function. To take this path, the painter has to paradoxically yield part of the control he exerts on material, in order to usher it out from the disorder of the world. This momentary loss of control is the basis for the work of three great exponents of abstract muralism: 108, Eltono and Erosie.
Starting from a shared background – that of graffiti writing – although with three very different approaches to painting, these artists produce forms with the goal of putting the chaos of reality back into an unprecedented order: graphic, dense with signs that simulate letters and pictograms, in the case of Erosie; geometric, the result of a creative process to some extent externalized and open to chance, in the case of Eltono; mystical, inhabited by irregular, spectral forms, in the work of 108. Whether this happens within the boundaries of a wall, a canvas or a sheet of paper, the principle that governs the works in this show does not change, which is the principle of all great abstract art: on the very thin borderline between chaos and cosmos, the realm of pure form begins.
108 (Guido Bisagni) was born in Alessandria, Italy, in 1978.
Eltono was born in Paris, France, in 1975.
Erosie (Jeroen Heeman) was born in Roosendaal, Netherlands, in 1976.
