Alessandro Papetti - paintings

In this new series of large scale paintings, depicting Industrial Landscapes, Interiors and Human Figures, Alessandro Papetti revisits subjects that are dear to him and through which he reveals, with his unique expressive force, his vision of the world. Facing Papetti's works the viewer is confronted poignant visions of abandoned industrial scenes where the shadows of long past activities are still faintly perceived among the rusting machinery. The immense dockyards where great ships look like naked, gigantic Leviathans, with steel bones and hard skin. And when Papetti's eye lingers on Human Figures and austere Interiors,one hears lost voices, witnesses recreated gestures -  the transient essence of life.
