“Baroque Recycling is a painting focused on the theme of creative recycling.
It combines two different aesthetic concepts together, creating a short circuit between packaging papers destined for destruction and the baroque aesthetic virtuosity underlined by the swirling movement of the drapes. The intent of the work, a thermometer of the era of climate change in which we live, is to make creative recycling aesthetically appreciable, until reaching the claim of comparison with baroque aesthetics.” – Roberto Gammone
