Ade Quercianera

ITALY

Ade's practice is closely tied to sculpture, even in painting, where he intervenes on the canvas surface with applications of paper or synthetic materials to create a three-dimensional plane. His primary material is paper — workable and versatile, used as a support like canvas or "plasticized" like clay for reliefs and sculptures. He gives no titles or explanations to his works, leaving the observer free mental space for self-analysis. Colors and materials carry meaning; his method follows what he calls "calculated instinct" — a process he never fully controls, deliberately, so as not to override instinct.
