ABOUT
Paolo Chiodaroli, a contemporary artist from Piacenza (Italy), is one of those characters who seem to live in a parallel universe where colors have a life of their own and canvases decide for themselves what to become.
His abstract imagination is so free that sometimes he doesn't even know where he's going, but he goes there with enthusiasm.
His works seem to say: "Don't worry if you don't understand, we don't fully understand each other either."
Chiodaroli treats matter like an old friend: he provokes it, teases it, persuades it to do improbable things.
Each of his paintings is a puzzle, but one you can't solve: you just stare at it and nod intelligently.
Irony flows through his brushstrokes like caffeine on a Monday morning.
Piacenza has adopted him, but he continues to act as if he's on an intergalactic tour.
His exhibitions are immersive experiences: you enter out of curiosity, and you leave wondering if you need an instruction manual.
His art explains nothing, but it raises a lot of uncomfortable questions.
