Acrylic on aluminium
1963 Piacenza, Italy
Marcello Arletti was born in 1963 in Piacenza; after finishing his studies, he graduated from the Liceo Artistico Statale d'Arte in Bologna and then embarked on the profession of Graphic Design and Visual Communication, an activity he still carries out today. He works in Bologna and lives in the hills of Bologna.
Since 1996 he began to paint, attracted by light and the emotions it generates, he started a phase of study and experimentation on reflections and transparencies typical of the ray of light, painting by hand with transparent pigments on shiny laminated aluminum, mounted on board.
REFLECTIONS is the term he uses to identify his paintings, because it contains two important meanings: a mental aspect and a physical phenomenon. REFLECTIONS are images that reflect perceptions habits and aspects of contemporary living. REFLECTIONS are paintings constructed by superimposing a series of glazes with transparent pigments on polished laminated aluminum and board. The idea of seeing color in transparency, thanks to the light ray reflected specularly by the metal placed behind the pigment, amplifies its visibility and chromatic vividness.
