Biography
In the works of Luca Baldassarra - made ceramic raku naked - unlimited space allusions materialize nell'indefinito matter.
Short tracks - without a focal point and diffuse across the board - are creeping into the surface opening up a universe of space Corrugated new, formal patterns forming unexpected and unpredictable. The outline disappears, the opposition-shaped background is eliminated to create a play of relationships in which ductus "acts" by providing complicated variations, multiple equilibria eurythmy and balances. This rhythmic play and relief is obtained without overhangs, light and shade and shadow, through a dry surface, free from excess of matter in which the image will be with a taste almost graphic, with a plastic sense less obsessive.
Fractures, fissures are in fact only craqueles evoked through a delicate process of alteration of the "thermal shock" and "reduction", this process allows the artist to transform the "cracks" in signs and discover the nakedness of raku - implicit diction of naked - in the spatial and tactile velvety hidden in matter. Uncertain scenarios and dreamlike textures of the labyrinthine are absorbed and broken into large monochrome areas.
This black image sampling - in which the artist shapes the contours discontinuous profiles, a balance between shape and form - corrupts the teeming textures evoking imaginary geometries and at the same time unknown, disturbed and disturbing. The absence of signs of real spaces, the choice among the possible size of the sculptural object, to circumvent the spatial depth to discover the inner rhythms of the surface and deep way Baldassarra Luca to go beyond the charm and flavor of matter to give freedom to different assumptions and aesthetic imagination to new assets.
