Pietro Roccasalva, born 1970, Modica (IT), lives and works in Milan (IT)
Roccasalva thinks of himself primarily as a painter, although he often uses other media such as installation, sculpture, performance, film and photography. In his work painting is indeed the constant center of an ever-expanding constellation of different elements. These elements can be seen as stages that are formally autonomous, but are also part of a greater situation or process: in the context of the development of the Western painting tradition, it corresponds to the setting, the first phase of a process that leads to the creation of a painting.
An internal logic in his oeuvre makes the switching of different media inevitable, and makes it also possible for certain themes and images to be recycled: a work bears often traces of something that has preceded it, in a constant referring to iconographies which repeat themselves in various ways and generate new situations.
Roccasalva’s work embodies multiple references – ranging from art history to philosophy, from literature to cinema – in relation to the circumstances and contingencies that he encounters in each new context.
Pietro Roccasalva joined the gallery in 2014.
