Paolo da San Lorenzo - Clock Tower

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and pure colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

Paolo da San Lorenzo's compositions are based on a search for pure lines and pure colors. Reality is assimilated by the artist and reconstructed through a geometric rationalization that reduces everything to the bare minimum of sensibility. While the color rests on a dense, painterly matrix, Paolo da San Lorenzo's lines are slender and elegant, charged with expressive movement. There is a playfulness, a sense of the fairytale that, in some ways, brings Paolo da San Lorenzo's geometry closer to that of Paul Klee, especially in his vibrant use of color.

Paolo da San Lorenzo was born in San Lorenzo in Campo in 1935. His artistic training took place primarily in Paris, where he was introduced to post-Cubism. He began exhibiting his works in a series of shows not only in Italy but also throughout Europe. In 1990, his work was included in the Mondadori catalogue. He participated in numerous international art fairs from 1999 to 2014, including Miart Milan, Arte Fiera Bologna, Arte Verona, the Australian Contemporary Art Fair Melbourne, St'Art Stasbourg, and KunstRai Amsterdam.
