Matteo Mauro’s Raw Inscriptions series, has now grown to nearly 50 unique artworks. Each artwork represents a deeper exploration into the Raw Inscriptions language, further illustrating a compelling evolution in Matteo Mauro‘s creative approach.
2025 signifies an exciting turning point for Matteo Mauro Studio, as Raw Inscriptions are designated as the studio’s primary artistic focus. This strategic shift emphasizes the commitment to continually redefining contemporary art through innovative techniques and profound conceptual engagement, being the backbone of Matteo Mauro Studio.
Celebrated art critic and curator Flaminio Gualdoni offers profound insights into Matteo Mauro‘s artistic journey within the Raw Inscriptions series, describing it as:
“The purifying awareness, abstract in itself, of the sign and of marking, that is, of a zero degree of intelligible tracing, with all that it entails and that was masterfully indicated by André Leroi-Gourhan in Le geste et la parole, 1964, is the basis of the series of Raw Inscriptions. In these works, Mauro translates the theoretical dimensionlessness of the sign into concretely materialized engravings, once again impure in their materiality. One can be quite certain that this represents yet another zero degree, not the first, nor certainly the last, in Mauro’s highly individual exploration within the territories of art and expression.”
Matteo Mauro invites art enthusiasts to visit and engage with this evolving series in his Milan studio. As the Raw Inscriptions series continues to evolve the outcome may change, but the history of the line will continue to be captured throughout all Raw Inscriptions speaking to the evolution of this language.
