Looking at Oscar Fonti's paintings

The Iyrical envelope of questionings and counter-proofs that give meaning to our attempts at knowing ourselves is elaborated through a profound mastery of movement.The sign and the colour of the sign are, in their singularity skin to handwriting, a functional answer to the non-being.Intertwined with the spontaneous divertissement, we re ad stories of which the precious "mitteleuropa chromatic component becomes lived experience, maybe arai tradition, certainly open story, itinerary.This road is strewn with dynamic mutations, and the polychromatic aspect of signs seem to find expression in musical notations, almost variations on "canto dato". The plurality of expressive elements invites us, with a discretion distant from the "correnti" to enter on the premises of the picture. Oscar Fonti's work, subtly unclassifiable, in its coherence free of rigidity, will give us in its making, a change to accomplish always renewed poetic voyages within creativity.
