ART-REVIEW:Ettore Spalletti-Paesaggio

The latest large monochromatic surfaces of Ettore Spalletti’s works from his series “Paesaggio” and his sculptures that were on show at Marian Goodman Gallery in Paris, create a meditative-luminous path, a path where the viewer sinks into the blue, as an extension and expansion of the sky and the sea. Is one of the three best exhibitions we have visited today in the Parisian Galleries. The exhibition is well designed and σετ, and it is resulting from the works themselves, because their accuracy and perfection touch the boundaries of architecture in two dimensions. At first looks like an easy exhibition, but as long as anyone goes around and re-reads the works, discovers the pulsating multiple layers of pigment paste that have both an interior  luminosity and an external skin with a range of tonal and textural  variations, in which someone can mentally penetrate and travel, relax and function spiritually on the surface of the work, simply and hedonistically… This is because both the paintings and the sculptures between them, through their sequence create an installation that is complete and minimal, the material and the immaterial, the spiritual and the earthly, and all these through the ample light created by the lines and the absolute abstraction.-Efi Michalarou
