Colour and trasparency

Colour and trasparency

by Toni Toniato

From the very beginning, Luigi Malice's painting is sublimated by the peculiarity of the dualism of mark-colour. Tommaso Trini in 1992 had aIready singled out the peculiarity of Malice's studies whose very experience implies a meaning of great intensity between the rendering of colour and the emotional data deriving from the introspection of nature, that transforms itself into expressions which are experienced every day but they are also idealistically universal. Malice, in fact, arranges and disarranges the expansive forces of a nucleus of luminous matter: no problem if this matter is the transparent brightness of bis seas or the sunny landscape of our deep South, in both cases he gets to the heart of the boundless sonority of light. Moreove the chromatic masses that fill with their actíon the surface of the Artist's paintings, come out according to a planning order since every stressing of colours is motivated by an emotional need more sensorial than formal. The Artist is inclined to take advantage of the beat that nature keeps secret, beat that is the essence of beauty. All this can be seen on the paintings and that goes for nothing if Malice's pictorial art refers to the best genealogy of lyrical abstraction. On the contrary the abstract process Malice sets is that to regard light as pure immateriality, energy reflecting and turning ali the forms of its enexplicable essence into an inextricable whole. But beyond the Informal there is Malice's intensive activity that aims at transforming inert matter inio pure energy, bis piercing glance that dwells upon hidden universes af a pure imagination.

Malice's ontogenesis abstraction aims at reshaping primeval forms and marks of our origin just that which gives us the opportunity to experience reality and its perception. The Artist has woven bis art with colour and sound giving rise to significant load with inspiration and images of absolute purity. Therefore the effusive space of the pictorial matter meets with fervour all the possible light epiphany.
