Robert Bosisio
This exhibition is the first solo show for Bosisio in Japan, and will consist of new portrait works from recent years, and also selected pieces from the series “interiors” which he has carried out for many years. The work will be shown in 104Galerie and 104Galerie-R.
Is a painting by Robert Bosisio abstract or figurative? The reason a viewer might ask such a question is that through differences in the distance from which you view the work, and the light and shadow on it, you can witness a change in the representation effected by the environment. A work may seem like a vague abstract painting from close up, but if you step back and gaze at the whole piece, the outline of an image with a certain presence appears.
This effect, unique to the work of Bosisio, is created by the complex textural layers of oil, tempera, ash, sand, wax, and plaster that he uses to paint. His deep thoughts are reflected in the production process as well. Sometimes his techniques of painting landscapes and portraits seem classical, but negotiates with his own abstractness, pursuing his own territory. In that tension, beauty is born and viewers are drawn in. As a close friend and supporter of Bosisio, film director Wim Wenders has published several poems and texts dedicated to him. These texts are filled with his deep insight and emotion towards Bosisio’s art.
