TUTTO TORNA
“Everything returns” title of a cycle of works from the beginnings of Ceribelli’s artistic career is an emblem of the repetitiveness of the human condition. The circle alludes to a state of mind that keeps returning visually, a western mandala that represents the circles of life, with the same errors and limitations we run into, seemingly impossible to overcome.
The artist demolishes the boundaries that exist between the form and its conceptual content. Objects that refer to a very specific imaginary are unhinged from their conventional meaning and their shapes exploit the shadows that the three-dimensionality imposes to untie the color from a common interpretation. From every angle you look at the work, the shades of the solid color reveal themselves in a continuously different way and the darkness envelops the geometries, supporting the light sources, making the bright colors of the canvases trigger contrasting and never identical sensations.

“OP” Optical and Break Ranks
Points Lines
The latter two cycles of work, developed by Paolo Ceribelli after sharing his Milanese studio with the master, longtime friend Tamas Jovanovics. They are the result of days of reflection on geometry and space while remaining in the balance like a tightrope walker between fun and pure technique. Characterized by the obsessive search for perfection, they investigate the perception of color and its shades, preferring the lateral view of the work.

Embroidery
In “Embroidery” we find the circle, the primary figure for Ceribelli. A set of circles that translate into a graceful and pleasant embroidery, in an aesthetic rendering that communicates peace and at the same time accompanied by the evident state of anxiety arising from its realization: oxymoronic feelings that coexist and are welcomed in their every manifestation. In this representation the figure of the circle is repeated in shape and size but it changes adapting to the space occupied by the others. A state of mind associated with lives and people who cross their paths, meet and intersect like the lines of the artist’s circles, and their fusion interrupts a continuity that otherwise would have been infinite, cyclical, never surpassed.

COLORS vs TANKS
Taking a cue from G. Richter’s (grid paintings), the artist constructs the work Colors vs Tanks through changing modules (Jeep or Tanks). The chaos of the arrangement of colors combined with the research on the shades of the latter, contrasts with the rigor of the lines or grids.
