Matteo Mauro’s inscriptions language continues to evolve dynamically, with each new canvas artwork marking an exciting chapter in the series’ growth. The latest oil paintings from the Inscriptions on Canvas series offer audiences a strikingly fresh visual experience, characterized by transcendent gestures and breath taking colours. Each canvas radiates with energy, capturing the eye and inviting viewers into a profound contemplation of Mauro’s distinctive engraving style.
As the artist writes: ‘Inscriptions on Canvas explore the purity of the line as both medium and subject, embracing a visual language in which lines resist transformation. Each line is celebrated in its entirety, revealing its own existence without evolving into other forms. These oil paintings prepared for the art fair season with @prometeogallery maintain an intimate and constant dialogue with hypersurrealism, or cyberealism, yet they challenge the conventions of realism by resisting recognisable forms or figures. Instead, these lines move with a subtle fluidity, like the wind: wild, free, formless, yet governed by deeply expressive instinctive structures.’
Recently showcased at MIART through an exclusive collaboration with Prometeo Gallery by Ida Pisani, this limited series reinforces Matteo Mauro’s position as a pivotal contemporary artist. The partnership with Prometeo Gallery ensures that the artworks are not confined to one location; rather, they travel across Europe, captivating audiences at prestigious international art fairs. Presenting Mauro’s visionary creations to a global audience continues to expand the reach and influence of his artistic language.
Beginning in 2018 with “Blue Baroque“, Mauro’s inscriptions have steadily grown to encompass nearly twenty artworks. Over the span of seven years, this series has become an integral part of the Matteo Mauro Studio catalogue, demonstrating not only artistic evolution but also a consistent exploration of themes such as movement, rhythm, and the threshold between abstraction and figurative expression.
The vibrancy and depth of colour in these oil paintings distinguish them within Mauro’s broader oeuvre, offering an immersive experience through intricate layers and compelling forms. As the series expands, each new addition enriches the collective narrative, cementing the inscriptions’ status as emblematic of Mauro’s innovative approach. Collectors and art enthusiasts alike continue to be drawn to these works, recognizing in them both an artistic legacy in the making and a bold vision of contemporary creativity.
