Artist Statement
Jorge Caligiuri's body of work here is developed in fresco medium. In taking a modern approach to the traditional secco process, Caligiuri uses experimentation and serendipity to fuse layers and textures. Shapes and patterns accumulate and recede in the process. The outcome is never certain. Using fundamental elements; line, shape, curve, angle, circle and triangle in an improvised geometry he finds liberation in process and the surface's constant change; reflecting his interest in transience and the fragility of matter over time.
