Marco Tirelli (Rome 1956) appeared on the art scene at the end of the 1970s. In a context that called for a kind of unbridled and richly imaginative nomadism, his unique status as a bridge between European abstract culture and the Italian metaphysical tradition immediately attracted attention. Tirelli's work then sought a painstaking geometry: not the abstract speculation favored by cold minimalist currents, but a "distillation of reality." Today the artist defines himself as an architect of imaginary places -- an inventor of theatres of memory where light and shade intimate the mysteries of in-between places. This monograph traces Tirelli's artistic path over the last twelve years. The artist currently lives in the mountains of Umbria, near the home of "his Giotto." Book jacket.
