Astra Zeneca
The meaning of the name „Astra Zeneca“ alludes to the serial
solution of the letters of the alphabet, „from A to Z“.
This is the starting point for a reasoning based on the
interaction between name, meaning and object.
In this series of works the layers of colour and material
describe by negation what is happening on the canvas,
blocking the illusion of access to the narrative. At the same
time, the described forms are sanctioned by a boundary
between space and subject; however, they remain open to
interpretation, without showing any precise reference to the
real world.
When the word fails to give a name to what is seen, the
subject acquires an identity: the viewer is thus forced to
confront the absurdity of his conclusions and trust the claims
of the painting.
