Three ways to say the same thing. Three ways to say painting. This is what the exhibition
is about. 

Each painter is both an affirmation of a way of painting as well as an implicit critique of
everything that has been painted to date. 

And there is nothing more electrifying than a new generation emerging, bringing new forms,
new feelings, and purging itself of everything that is no longer able to speak. 

Thus, here are three young painters, graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts,
presenting themselves on the Italian scene. 

Martina Cassatella, Roberto de Pinto, Emilio Gola. 

Three different painters, yet united by a common spirit rooted in the bodies and poses of
youthful anatomies, between self-discovery, creation of one’s own character, and desire
for the other. 

Martina’s painting is made of hands, light and hair. In each painting these are declined
and recombined differently. Three elements that allow us to investigate the way in which
painting is capable of becoming a plastic form, the way in which colour becomes a nucleus
of light, and the way in which the abstract line can be a figure capable of activating and
destabilizing the pictorial surface, going on to create intense ghostly figures. 

Roberto populates the canvas with bodies originating from the deep Mediterranean. They
are the painter’s alter-egos, idle, immersed in water or in the shadows of vegetation; sometimes only a part of the faces or an anatomical detail emerges, sometimes they are depicted
in not very busy groups, perhaps because of the heat. The techniques he uses, encaustic
and pastels, become erotic about skin, tans, and shadows on bodies. 

Emilio is point, line and surface. The bodies of friends create temporary constellations
in continuous reformulation; recurring pictorial motifs rendered through textures made
through the use of tools unrelated to painting, to which lines charged with kinetic energy
capable of synthesizing the dynamics of bodies, and pictorial surfaces through which the
lines and points of the textures are enhanced. 

Three ways to say a new painting, without any sense of guilt, without inferiority complexes
compared to other languages.
