Press Release
At the Limits of Visibility are Francesco De Prezzo’s painted canvases, painted with care and then either obliterated or covered with nearly transparent veils. Some of his subjects are entirely abstract, because the final layer of paint is dense and opaque. Others are fully spelled out in their details, having escaped the final brushstroke. In both cases, De Prezzo (Lecce, 1994) has studied the subjects with an eagle eye, spending countless hours portraying the objects that surround him in his studio.
Fabrics, tripods, panels, containers, tiles, hangers and other objects that are used to cover, support, contain or divide and that cast off their simplicity to enter a new dimension and acquire a new aura. What we find in these works is an idea of synthesis and transformation away from figurative painting through a process of layering and covering at the limit of the monochrome, questioning the possibility of fixed visual perception and challenging the role of the image as language.
