Notebook

The research at the base of Notebook is pivoted on the relationship between two artistic languages: photography and painting. The main theme is architecture in an urban context, whether it be build- ings, roads, city outfits or vaster metro- politan settings. Notebook strives for a stronger synthesis between the two aforementioned lan- guages and makes use of transfer print- ing technique on plaster panels, recycled paper and other materials. The main difference with Andrea Garuti's previous work lies exactly in the blending of painting, which impresses new shapes in photographs through the use of color and forces the images to produce new and unexpected spaces, and photography, which in turn incorporates those colors and transparencies into its own world. Analyzing architecture through this cross-breeding method has given to the author, the possibility of re-interpreting the City as a subject, freeing it from the imposing precision of the camera lens.
