Inside Le Purisme Vincenzo De Cotiis | Aldo Bakker

6 Sep – 17 Dec 2021

"To immerse myself in an experience with constructions aimed at a movement that is expressed with clarity and formal freedom I’ve used a Purist language that surpasses decoration, looking to “subtract” in order to return to the truth of its time.

Exhibition Statement

Simplified signs and freedom of interpretation without ornamental gestures, but above all an absolute design clarity.

The methodological criterion that I adopted in choosing the works is based on the empirical identification of certain morphological and thematic similarities between the artists and the Purism they cross, looking for connections that could generate information.

Forms without aesthetic deceptions, pure perspectives, similarities and differences are not based on a simple historical contact or coincidence. It is the memory of a parallel path between the simplified form and shared coloration. A universal formal language strictly linked to a constant contemporaneity."
