Paolo Bini
Paolo Bini’s artistic research is an investigatory attempt to transform and re-appropriate the authentic notions of ‘the memory of an image’ as it adheres to the contemporary rhythms in the world around us. These images are formed as a pixilation of units. Usually marked out by a scanner or a plotter, the result is a succession of colored stripes that become a succinct and redefined translation of what came before.
Paolo Bini has exhibited work at Galleria Alberto Peola, Turin; Museo MADRE, Naples; and Reggia di Caserta, all Italy, among others.
