L’opera: un modo di vivere l’esperienza della mortalità

Abstract

Contrary to the typical trend of contemporary art, according to which the invention matters more than the material execution, Nespolo’s artistic practice is characterized by a primacy of the mastery of manual working. Nespolo’s poetic is not the mere affirmation of his ironic attitude but rather a kind of postmodern liberation based on the recovery of visual forms, including traditional ones. His artworks exhibit an affectionate attitude toward things. Through this attitude artwork becomes a way, not tragic and neither pathetic, of living the experience of mortality.
