Bedürfnis Fenster
Ein Tisch zum essen, ein Bett zum schlafen,
ein Haus zum wohnen, ein Herd zum kochen,
ein Fenster zum hinaus sehen mehr brauch ich nicht.
Ein Brot zum essen, eine Decke zum schlafen,
ein Dach zum wohnen, ein Topf zum kochen,
ein Fenster zum hinaus sehen mehr will ich nicht.
Ich bin alt und brauche nicht viel,
ich bin alt und will nicht viel,
alles was ich wirklich will und brauche ist
ein Fenster zum hinaus sehen.

Andrea Padovani
February 1-15, 2010
Opening Thursday 4th, 6-8pm
Known for his technical brilliant and startling use of light and color, Andrea Padovani incorporates a plethora of references from literature, and mythology, to landscape and personal relationships. His works form a mixed media investigation concerning the multiplicity of marginal spaces, states, emotions and spaces that exist within the emotional landscape. Padovani’s works, allude to a space-between, a place of ambiguity and transition, a site of passage in which borders, boundaries and thresholds are crossed. It is an indeterminate zone of interactions and exchange between Padovani and the viewer. Padovani, whose diverse artistic practice engages with the concept of love and liminality and their relationship to our global landscape, utilizes the strength and subtleties of paint in order to create an art based on light and movement that in turn explores color, luminosity, and sculptural space—through movement and composition.
Conceiving his visual art on the canvas surface, Padovani conveys inventive points of view that form a synthesis between abstract and figurative elements. Padovani creates a narrative with light, utilizing abstract compositions that reveal a life within the clinical world of painting. His works deliver compelling patterns with graceful colors, methodical lines and arches, an aesthetic that can be closely identified with a deep spirituality. Working toward being an impulse to change, with creative energy, and inspiration, he brings his knowledge of painting, sculpture and the arts to every piece. At its core his art is an experiment of movement, light, contemplation and ritual, each perfectly composed in order to touch the viewer on a more profound level.
