Pizzi Cannella's Storyboards Interni & Vedute or "interiors and landscapes" evokes the poetry of daily-life, and how this lives on within us. From maps and landscapes to dresses, tables and chairs, these recurring and familiar images appear to the viewer like reveries or fond memories. The artist hardly offers any hint of when or where something is set. Seemingly suspended, the object of his attention invariably occupies the center of the canvas or paper. As if hovering in mid-air, painted in black or sometimes white, the main focus stands boldly at the fore much like a Zen circle would. However, his symbols are set against a cloudy atmosphere created by his ethereal earth-toned backgrounds. The total effect is timeless, and gives his work a delicate dream-like clarity, at once both unique and universal. "One always starts with a drawing ... At times it is not there, yet all us painters we carry it within us. This exhibition is conceived like this! As a storyboard that thinks, plans, modifies and is definitive (maybe)." Pizzi Cannella, 2018. Pizzi Cannella highlights the ambiguity of the creative process - the author rarely knows where this will take him/her, sometimes you have a clearer picture in your mind, sometimes you let this creative instinct guide you to create something that you did not totally understand before. A word, a colour, a sensation, a memory, which may be undefined, but to which your creativity will give form. Through brush strokes, passion and determination, the artist makes the intangible tangible, crafting a bridge between the esoteric and material, interweaving a motif between intuition and realization. Ultimately initiating the viewer on an uncertain journey, full of colour and questions.--Gallery website.
