From Sicily, the space-time colors of Agostino Tulumello will be on display from 5 to 20 May 2023 at the private gallery Kunst Grenzen in Rovere della Luna (Trento, Italy).
Specialized at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liège in Belgium, the artist has to his credit a portfolio of over two hundred exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
Since the early years of his intense activity as a painter, Agostino Tulumello has aimed at achieving the concept of “pure creation” through an incessant analysis of the neutrality of time expressed as a musical and mathematical scansion in abscissas and ordinates, such as pause, stationary and travel . Tulumello himself defines himself synthetically through the poetic verses:
“Prisoner / of the grid / of time, slave / of the god / Kronos / bound / between heaven and earth.”
“From the works of Tulumello emerge countless parallel realities beyond the conventions of the visible and of action, generating correspondences and analogies between creation and genesis. Feelings of the soul shed light and land towards arcane perspective archipelagos through feeble and illusory narrative sinuosities. We are witnessing an epochal clash between the linearity of the stroke and the fluctuating dynamism of the composition, now rotating, now integrated between dogmatic horizontal and vertical overlaps. […]
Beyond the space-time relationship Tulumello meditates on the irrevocability of the fragment, on the harmonic traces of the geometric shapes that hold up the universe in search of the primordial objective temporalities.
The fragment, far from its naturalistic context, extends its presence between overlaps and additions of pictorial material, generating a fascinating rhythmic interweaving. […]The pictorial reality in Tulumello is represented by fragments, integrations, compositional arrangements, in the assiduous search for the ancestral visual expression of the experience placed in the eternal perceptive transfiguration of the universe.
