Marco Bizzarri

While preparing for his solo exhibition Cielo Abierto , Marco Bizzarri was examining the ways landscape reveals itself when you are fully alone in it: how light behaves in places emptied of human presence, how dust becomes an archive, how ruined architecture opens itself to the sky. Abandoned towns in northern Chile, the vast altiplano, the fields and hills of Sussex, the shifting luminosity inside Gothic cathedrals: these are the environments that shape his imagination. Rather than describing them, his paintings attempt to inhabit their atmospheres, translating their emotional and temporal weight into a sustained visual experience. What follows are his own writings on the ideas and experiences that underpin this body of work.
