Sebastiano Sallemi teaches Plastic Disciplines and has never abandoned his greatest passion, painting. The academic path followed during his training has allowed him to approach and analyse all art forms with interest, focusing mainly on those of the last century. He is particularly interested in sculptors and painters who have attempted and still attempt to eliminate the boundary between these two disciplines. The sculptures of Picasso and Schwitterse, as well as the environments of Louise Nevelson, become the point of reference for his early works, made with wood and paint.
Over time, his research expands with continuous experimentation with poor materials such as cement, cardboard and paper, but the use of painting as the main medium is the one that most satisfies his future aesthetic choices, paying more attention to those analytical canvases in which Griffa, Marchegiani, Buren or Agnes Martin are the protagonists, generating surfaces with delicate monochrome geometries that send the observer back to a lyrical and ascetic minimalism. Colour, light and sound are the fil rouge of all his work.
