“Ever new waters from ancient springs quench the thirst of the work-weary eyes of the artist. These waters gush full of life from the depths, after having inhabited the intimacy of the earth. Nothing is as beautiful as the profound, the merely imaginable, that furtive thought, which we cannot grasp except for an instant. The artist’s hand realises through bodies the presence of this invisible, his mind intuits the hidden name of things.
How much can the small things of nature, biological machines of meditation, arouse, in the believer and the non-believer, a universal feeling or at least one that can be shared through the artist’s work? Vito Savino, using the mystery of the pictorial gesture, offers with the exhibition ‘NUNC’ an answer to this challenging question.” – Prof. Simone De Summa
Vito Savino is an Italian artist born in 1975 in Conversano in the province of Bari. After studying at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, he specialised in art therapy with a focus on image construction. He moves nimbly from the small format of illustration to the large formats of painting, both on canvas and on wood and murals. He finds his main source of inspiration in the shapes and colours of nature, whose details he loves to decontextualise in order to recompose their essence in unusual and dreamlike contexts. A multifaceted artist, particularly inclined to contamination, research and experimentation, in his paintings he mixes languages and situations in absolute freedom, creating an inner journey and cultural nomadism.
