Articolo
Critic
“Razlikovanja / Differentiations” - Nova Gorica, Slovenia 2004.
Inside the dramatic context mediated through a well-finished pictorial narration by Igor Gustini, are being discovered messages that denote meditation. The collage in a full chromatic field that the author is composing in a sort of geometric figures having their own structure that recalls a certain form of texture, alludes to an organic and figurative connotation which is assuming at the same time the feature of an episodic tale. Such chromatic components that are extracted from a meditated “matrix” ranging between an organic and material nature, are mediating and launching a symbolic message on the level of personal transposition in the space, and as such of immediate actuality in terms of time. The composition of materials and the semantic note in the profusion of the correlative intercourses, leads to the perception of the whole content as a mosaic of impressions that have been lived in the environment context wherefrom they draw origin. The structure of divisionistic nature, the disposition of colours as well as the relevant range of diffusion, require from the spectator an aside vision, namely a visual perception of the painting from a certain distance. This true, heart-felt and lived research into the intimate dimensions that are even more emphasizing the meaning of the pictorial narration thereof, are opening the way to some perceptions that go beyond the outward structure thus with a straightaway identification with the essence of the painting and the author’s vision.
Tanja Cigoj (2004).
Critic
Igor Gustini attracted the attention of the public and critics several years ago with his textile collages, which he creates from discarded and found “rags” of various colors (frequently discarded painting rags from his colleagues, which imparts significance to the concepts of “chance spots” and “the continuity of events”). The effect of the regularly geometrically “tailored” “textiles,” glued to the canvas according to a reasoned visual system (but also according to a rational spatial system, because textile is “wrinkled” and thereby “spatial”), creates a coloristic effect nearly identical to that of the geometrically painted surfaces that are well-known to us from works of geometric abstraction. Here, nonetheless, in addition to the spatial-haptic effect of the collage –which is textile, with the characteristic category of the texture of the material and the structure of its surface, these works by Igor Gustini, in addition to their optical quality, have a marked quality, acting with their visual but also spatial –temporal dimensions.
That which at first glance captures attention is the strictly organized visual order, based upon the masterful and disciplined relations of colors, in the classically balanced composition and the organized dynamic relations within the frame of the picture. These are experiences which draw their roots from the great styles of 20th century modern art –from geometric and lyrical abstraction. Gustini, however, adds the informel experience of gesture here, that occurs with the final painting with oils (sometimes with a brush and sometimes dripping), while the collage, although in today’s art it is not new, functions here as a medium of constant exploration of the relations of the pictorial and the tactile; the structural and the material; the actual and the illusionary. The author constantly activates them here, via nearly all our sensors, an entire series of additional associations and visual-emotional events, because a collage can give everything an amazing two-dimensionality: touchable and untouchable; actual and unreal; spatially determined and that which has “shifted”; temporally close and indeterminate. Most often the daily and banal are transformed into the new and miraculous in a new harmony. In Gustini’s textile collages, this is particularly evident. Reality here is continuously “imploded,” so that reality, although tangible, is constantly transformed into abstraction –but geometrically coded and disciplined. In addition, there is also color, which ostensibly has absolute freedom (but also its added independent life as matter and as a textile material), placed under the control of the author, because Gustini perceives the space of
the picture from various vantage points. However, he then mutually harmonizes and disciplines them, providing a “geometric code” as a manner of access and a key to reading the works. Leading us thus to his perception based upon analytical observation, systematized within the solid, purified structure of the compositional raster –but also through which a dynamic situation of a tense relationship between the visual and haptic, between illusion and touch weaves simultaneously.
Collage —that enchanting “painting with scissors” (as Matisse called it), has long fascinated artists. It seems like play –and requires great concentration.
The collages of Igor Gustini with the help of snippets taken from known realities –taken from found material (or discarded material), create a new reality. Moreover, he shows particular interest in the architecture of the painting, always building a solid geometric structure and solid composition, while at the same time delicately imposing the duality of balanced simplicity and concentrated expressivity as the basic impression.
