The Palazzo della Racchetta (via Vaspergolo ) houses the show " Prospettive differenti " of the Bolognese artist Franco Tosi, on his first outing in the city of Este . The exhibition - curated by Gianluca Ramini in collaboration with Francesca Mariotti , art critic - opens today at 18 . We present a series of works that enclose a decade of the artist's production . From " Pigments and matter " to cellular " Mitosis " , Tosi offers , with a different perspective and abstract sign , his interpretation of the material, color .
" ... By studying and experimenting with colors , looking unexpected harmonies , supported by the ability to isolate the population from what contemporary art that surrounds him, Tosi leave behind any provincialism , loyal only to himself , to reach a leading role on the international scene » . (F. Mariotti ) .
Featured in the show some unpublished series Scratches / Scratches where , apparently slender threads but also strong footholds across the canvas encroaching into the unknown , leaving the viewer and his imagination free to get lost in them.
"The " Prospettive differenti "- adds Mariotti - are the leitmotif of his progress , made up of moments of arrest and changes , visual changes , which give way to the artist continues to capture a diversity perspective and in a constant deepening of their own creation art . "

" Mitosis and aggregations "
...and concentric splotches take shape (and come to life) on fertile grounds, cells that interact whith one another, that reproduce, canvases that appear to communicate with each other, separate parts of a single universal vision. A vision that crosses the canvas from one edge to the other, as the eye accompanies the moments marking it. Plaques of color with quivering edges that turn into blubbles, leaving a pleasant sensation of hypnosis in the eyes. Concave spots with convex edges that erupt drops of reflected light, melting into one another. Or splitting, in a triggered mitosis. A reproduction, a duplication, a multiplication of groups of cells, a genesis that on some canvases seems to spring from a wound, spreading out in fragile effervescences.
- Alessandro Dall'Olio ( from Catalogue Mitosi 2008 ) writer and poet.
