ROBERTO PAGLIARULO: AN AMALFI DREAM
Roberto Pagliarulo paints Italy as a romantic dream-place, populated by classical statues, mythical messengers and pink trees. His landscapes are tinged with history; they hold the mysteries of antiquity. At the same time, his vividly painted panoramas re-imagine the landscape in triumphantly contemporary terms. For his third exhibition at Highgate Contemporary Art, Roberto Pagliarulo welcomes viewers to share in his ‘Amalfi Dream’.
Works On Paper
Encompassing a diverse range of media — from drawing and painting to collage and beyond — works on paper can offer a glimpse into an artist’s creative process. For many, the freedom and immediacy afforded by working on paper is instrumental to their practices, spawning new techniques and aesthetics, subjects and methods.
Far from being confined to studies and experiments, works on paper represent important modes of art-making in their own right.
Some have very traditional approaches, producing fine drawings using graphite, pastel or charcoal whilst others sketch in paint, producing quick studies with oils, acrylics or watercolours. The use of sketches and sketchbooks are often the starting point for larger pieces of work whether to serve as inspiration and reflection when the artistic process isn’t quite going to plan, to serve as a reminder of time and place, or just to revisit an old idea.
Postcard Exhibition
Exhibition opens on Sunday 24th May at 10am.
Artists from up and down the country have submitted their work to this exhibition.
All postcards are £50 each and will be posted directly from the artist’s studio. Only when a piece has been sold will you know who’s work you have bought.
