Fabio Marco Pirovino explores the boundaries and possibilities of imagery. For the exhibition “Reality” (15 October–12 December 2016) at the art space epepep in St.Gallen, the artist realized a series of his typical “scribble paintings”: abstract, gestural paintings, layered traces as dormant records of dynamic processes. Pirovino painted twenty-one PVC films of different sizes, applying the monochrome paint directly with his hands and fingers. The artist nailed these object-like substrates to sprayed canvases with the painted side facing inward so that the surface of the works has a mirror-like appearance. The artist’s book “Reality Pirovino” is a continuation of the exhibition. The full-scale reproductions were cropped in the layout, and the canvases and nails are invisible. This captures the screen-like quality of the works, which is emphasized by the sheen of the book pages with a UV coating. This project has been realized in collaboration with 1 Samuel Bänziger and 2 Jiajia Zhang, and published by 3 Jungle Books.

Each year, Plattform gives an insight into the work of young artists in Switzerland. The exhibition presents new works by selected bachelor and master graduates of different Swiss art schools. The announcing poster has been (alphabetically) divided into 26 image sections, leading to random compositions, overlaps and blendings of the artist’s imagery on a common platform. This project has been realized in collaboration with Samuel Bänziger.
