Artist Statement
Jorge Caligiuri work is based on a layering strategy of superimposed stratums and fresco paint compositions coming from organic and geometrical abstracted shapes. Through the use of modulation and materiality, these compositions follow a path or pattern in between layers. Space and time or physics and memory are concepts that hide along the subtle cracks on the panel surface. Subdued tones fight against proportion to achieve harmony. His images depart from organic patterns which are later transformed into distorted graphics, enigmatic rhythms, and geometrical gestures. Simplicity, harmony, and a formal beauty using a great variety of some worn and bare supports where the layers of color and the patina of time build a unique skin full of energy, and tension.
