One color
Philosophy of the Collection
In this series, color is not used for decorative purposes but as an emotional filter. Remoi isolates a single hue to explore its tactile depth and psychological weight. The works become visual monoliths that absorb the gaze, forcing the viewer to focus on the variations of the material, the incisions, and the objects emerging from the surface.
-
Color as Substance: The paint is applied with almost sculptural thickness. Lumps, furrows, and drips make the surface come alive, capable of changing appearance depending on the angle of light.
-
The Embedded Object: Often the canvas "swallows" external elements (clocks, figures, grids), transforming them into artifacts of a personal or social archaeology.
-
The Role of the Frame: As in all of Remoi’s poetics, the frame is fundamental. From oxidized iron to polished steel, it defines the "character" of the work, acting as either an industrial barrier or a precious casket.
Key Works
The collection moves through a chromatic "temperature" that touches the peaks of the spirit and human experience:
Shadow and Rigor (Black and Gray)
-
Mamozio Nero: Darkness as a physical presence, a dense silence marked by circular signs.
-
Cenere (Ash): A reflection on time and the residues of existence, where gray becomes dust and memory.
-
Pecunia Non Olet: A critique of materialism, where the symbol of power is buried in a bituminous black.
-
Ritratto di Stefano Malerba: The most intimate dedication, where his brother's face emerges from the darkness like an icon of black light.
Light and Catharsis (White)
-
Lacrime Bianche (White Tears): Purified pain, a rarefied work where weeping becomes chalky whiteness.
-
Abbi Fede (Have Faith): A monumental work (300x300 cm) where the cross emerges from the white medium, protected and fiercely defended by a barbed-wire frame.
Energy and Excess (Yellow)
-
Dinastia (Dynasty): Yellow as legacy—a golden, visceral flow representing the continuity of blood.
-
Sbronza (Drunk): Sensory vertigo, where acid yellow captures the distortion of reality and the loss of balance.
Conclusion
The One Color Collection is a chromatic mapping of the soul. It is a series that demands silence: each painting is a room to enter, where the single color does not limit the vision but expands it toward an infinity of pure sensations.
