The punk sister of Agnes Martin
(paintings from paradise)
2011-2012, Rome
On November 2011 I have asked Cristina Kristal Rizzo to make for me/with me a series of paintings.
The process was supposed to consist in communicating her my own alphabet of signs and gestures.
She would translate it with brushes and paints on canvas.
Because of the impossibility of translating a painting verbally, Cristina was asked to proceed in the way she preferred.
While Cristina was painting I was watching her.
After each session of work I made a series of paintings of the same dimension of those painted by her, using both the colors she left and the techniques she found as well as the energies I absorbed from her during the time spent together.
Cristina had never painted before.

Painting from Paradise
Vorrei mostrarti la mia gioia e la mia impotenza.
Che non è la mia nudità nè la mia debolezza.
Dovresti percepire lo stallo di una potenza. La differenza tra uso e consumo.
La possibilità del soggetto di fare spazio ad un altro senza per questo soccombere.
Un erotismo diverso, che non prevede l’annullamento.
Un amore calmo che non aspira al possesso.
La capacità ritrovata di generare una lingua comune e con questa immaginare un reale.
