Matteo Ferretti
I am an Italian artist, and since 1999 I have worked through matter, colour, gesture and space.
Over these years, my painting has moved through galleries, institutions, biennials, private collections and international projects—from Fondazione Stelline to the Venice Biennale and the Beijing Biennale, and to an encounter with Louis Vuitton.
Today, Vibrism, Archetypes and Metamorphosis make that evolution visible.
Colour generates rhythm and intensity.
Matter constructs depth.
Gesture introduces movement.
Through painting, I explore the relationship that arises between work, individual and space.
The work becomes a presence: it enters a place, encounters those who move through it and directs perception.
Space becomes part of the experience.
Vibrism names the field generated by painting.
Archetypes gives form to recognition.
Metamorphosis expands the matrix of the work through light, movement, space and new languages.
The work opens a field.
Recognition opens the threshold.
Experience leads elsewhere.
Since 1999, the practice has moved through painting, projects, institutions and international contexts.
