It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.

Glossy finish

Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

In the reading rooms I wanted to represent a very simple idea, namely how much the content of a book can acquire reality for those who are reading it, becoming as present as the true reality. For this reason the rooms have a view towards the outside and the concrete world. Only by painting them, I realized that those windows are not an opening, the external landscape does not count at all, and the room is a refuge. The reader is somehow protected from the outside world as in a shelter, and his reality is only inside the book.

Federico Cortese is a contemporary Italian painter. His artistic passion is deeply rooted in these preferred mediums, showcasing his talent for oil paint on both paper and canvas, as well as his expertise in graphite drawing. Cortese's creative process is characterized by the gradual accumulation of successive layers, each layer adding a new dimension while simultaneously concealing elements of the underlying surface. Within his artistic exploration, he has consistently gravitated towards the realm of order and classification, drawn, perhaps, from an inherent sense of insecurity. For him, the act of imposing structure on chaos offers a sense of solace.

His artistic journey can be likened to a game of discovery, where the initial step involves identifying a subject ripe for variation. The essence of this game lies in uncovering the rules that govern potential transformations - an endeavor akin to deciphering a new language, complete with its unique syntax, grammar, and exceptions.

In line with these principles, the subjects of Cortese's artistic research span a wide spectrum, encompassing diverse themes such as butterfly collections, herbaria, ancient bestiaries, anatomy manuals, maps, human faces, hands, pornography, and flags. Each subject represents a distinct language, complete with its own vocabulary. Cortese's creative pursuit centers on isolating and reinventing these linguistic elements, with the aim of generating fresh and innovative meanings within the realm of art.
