L'opera

un modo di vivere l'esperienza della mortalità

Gianni Vattimo

pp. 141-147

Abstract

Contrary to the typical trend of contemporary art, according to which the invention matters more than the material execution, Nespolo’s artistic practice is characterized by a primacy of the mastery of manual working. Nespolo’s poetic is not the mere affirmation of his ironic attitude but rather a kind of postmodern liberation based on the recovery of visual forms, including traditional ones. His artworks exhibit an affectionate attitude toward things. Through this attitude artwork becomes a way, not tragic and neither pathetic, of living the experience of mortality.
