The Environment of Paolo Ghilardi

The interaction between the canvas and the exterior, between the support and the wall, remained limited to individual works, at first. But that will be the embryo in order to be able to totally get out of the linearity of the painting and free themselves into the space. This study leaded to the creation of an environment with aluminum ribbons painted in complementary color and applied to the walls and floor. It found its genesis in 1976 September/October, with the environmental installation designed for the Lorenzelli gallery in Bergamo (Picture taken from the Catalogue curated by Paolo Fossati)

A new environment will be proposed in 2007 as the last divertissement when, with surgical precision, the artist will go to define with shapes and colors the space "Image Word" of GAMeC (Galleria s’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea) in Bergamo between 24th May – 1st July 2007. The Director of this work was Giacinto Di Pietrantoniom, the  Curators were Maria Rodeschini Galati and Alberto Veca. The  Catalogue was edited by Lubrina Editore, Bergamo.

In 2017 it will be re-proposed in an exciting way in the first room of the Testoni Space (Bologna), Polychrome Trajectories, 18th March – 30th June 2017.

The following year at the Gallery the Polena of Genoa (with Maria Cernuschi Ghiringhelli) a new environment was set up, in which the three-dimensionality of the space examined by reducing to some color lines is accentuated. La rotazione della volumetria dell'ambiente della galleria avviene attraverso lo spostamento degli assi con linee che vanno alle pareti, al soffitto e al pavimento.

An important role is given to music.
