Item description:
Gambasin's artistic curiosity has repeatedly encountered "Numbers": abstract reality, a complex and simple structure at the same time, eternal,
infinite, but ephemeral, in search of their character and their structure.
Numbers have at the same time the dimension of infinity and that of everyday life and Gambasin tries in his painting to interact with their forms and
their angularity.
This research integrates Gambasin's surrealist approach to the life-death / reality dream and the theme of sexuality, which often appears as a blurred
background in his works.
But in this case the theme of sexuality emerges overwhelmingly because the painter has decided to challenge the immortality of numbers thinking of
giving their form a "sexual ... coherence".
So the desecrated (or consecrated) number becomes erotic support, in some way it becomes the "hanger" for hanging sexual organs and erotic
gestures.
Strange ... and surreal reading of the numbers !!!!
It is a surprising personalization born perhaps echoing Arcimboldo a little, in its use of fruit and vegetables to create faces.
