By attacking gold with flame and combining it with different enamels, and ‘nielle’, a mixture of silver, lead and liquefied sulphur Graziano Visintin creates a morbidity that overshadows the vivacity of the gold. The aim is rather to question the link with space than defining the spatiality of the volumes.

Graziano Visintin
Using fire, water, air and earth, an alchemist may transform any element. The goldsmith Graziano Visintin experiments with gold, bright and noble material, by attacking it with flame and combining it with different enamels, and ‘nielle’, a mixture of silver, lead and liquefied sulphur. Magmatic fluids flood the surface, revealing the dark side of this dazzling sun. In this way, they break down the rigidity of pure formal geometries. This topology aims rather more at questioning the link with space than defining the spatiality of the volumes. The morbidity of the lead overshadows the vivacity of the gold.
A graduate of the Pietro Selvatico school in Padua, where he has been teaching now for the last three decades, the artist adopts this particularity of setting formal minimalism against abstraction and geometry against the warmth of the materials. Graziano Visintin was born in Pernumia in 1954, he lives and works in Padua. He has exhibited in Europe, Japan, the United States and Australia. He has won several prizes and his works may be found in numerous public and private collections.
