Introducing Luca Blasonato's debut solo exhibition, spanning the mediums of canvas assemblage and stained glass; his work is connected to four key ideas. The first is that of the possibility of provisionality in a finished painting which has led him to find beauty in the most modest of marks and to use restraint not just as a sensibility but almost as a tool in coming to an endpoint in the work. The second is the obsessive nature of his studio methodology which emphasises new discoveries related to my expanding archive of imagery and his growing vocabulary of materials. The third is Blasonato's engagement with principles of erasure and degradation as they relate to the surface and imagery of the paintings. In this regard, he is committed to experimentation with different painterly or non painterly materials and techniques and in this way the work remains in principle open to the world. The final key idea that my work embraces is that of the possibilities still available to the painter as their work touches on questions of beauty. Images courtesy the artist and China Heights.
