Antonio Cursano

His paintings, or rather the Cursano pittosculptures, live on materials, layers of chromatic superimpositions, spatula marks engraved in colour to form a structure made of free motion in space. This intact element is the basis of Cursano's work, which in defining forms and modelling, both in painting and in sculpture, highlights the depth of the image, the subjective perspective that all of us can identify with, depending on our sensitivity . In Cursano's artworks, another interesting element is the concept of the indefinite, which is immediately understood as an element of expression that develops on the support.

A sculptor and a painter, Antonio Cursano seeks in art the truth of existence, thanks to the purity of forms and the dynamism of pictorial gestures, which allows us to perceive the immediacy, movement and creativity in its creation, as in our own lives. In his monumental sculptures in Carrara marble, the full and empty spaces are refined, revealing and concealing, depending on the observation point, anthropomorphic elements, figurations and abstractions, which are frequently inserted into vertical compositions, as in a spiritual hiatus.
