When the two May exhibitions close, Amalart stays at the One Space Gallery in Wuhan for the whole of June with a new project. "Dialogue with Modern Technology" brings back two of the artists already presented in the spring and places at its centre the relationship between painting and the digital image, the theme around which Stefania Pinsone has been building her work for years.
Pinsone paints by hand, with acrylic and a fine brush, faces and figures taken from social networks, dating sites and the media, and faithfully reproduces even their errors: pixels, interference lines, compression artefacts, misaligned colours. The result is portraits that look like screenshots but are in fact unique pieces, halfway between the tradition of pictorial realism and the grammar of screens. Beside her, Michel Aubéry brings his bestiary painted with stencil and acrylic, an invented alphabet of signs that turns animals and figures into surfaces dense with patterns.
No photographs of the installation of this exhibition have survived. The images on this page present the works of the two artists, as Amalart brought them in those years between Europe and China.
