Catalogue Essay
One the most innovative artists of his generation, Pietro Roccasalva takes inspiration
from Byzantine art and medieval Sienese school painting, pushing his pictorial
language into conceptualism territory much as Roman artist Gino de Dominicis did in
the 1970s and in the 1980s. Intelligent Artifice(r), while intimately scaled, has a mystic
grandiosity similar to the Russian icon by artist-monk Andrei Rublev. Its aura, melding
futuristic android imagery with potent Eastern devotion, occupies a symbolic space
utterly classic and contemporary at the same time.
