Catalogue Note

“Per quanto riguarda me penso che il bianco non sia un colore, diventa colore se appoggiato ad uno degli altri colori dell’arcobaleno quindi io lo chiamerei infinito l’errare dello spazio che sconfina nell’immenso e sfugge a qualsiasi limite di misura e per quanto riguarda lo spettatore, c’è il fatto di ritrovarsi nella piena libertà di comunicare, osservare, pensare ed essere stimolato alla meditazione che porta la quiete dell’anima.”
Angelo Savelli "As for me, I do not think that white is a colour, it becomes colour if it is leaning against one of the other colors of the rainbow so I would call it infinite the space that borders the immense and escapes all limits. As far as the spectator is concerned, there is the fact of being in complete freedom to communicate, observe, think and be stimulated by meditation that brings quiet to the soul."
