After having seen and heard how much we favor the art of communication and of transposition when it is applied to the history of one of the most advanced artists in terms of the research of a pictorial and chromatic language which has known no expressive immobility and has developed following its own ideal and intellectual microcosm, to then flow into the universal language of the signs of mankind, we must wonder what could be added to testify to the artistic and human greatness that is Eugenio Pardini.
An artist who for many years has exhausted all the replies he wanted to provide to the very real questions from the past, in the same way that he has exhausted all the hypothetical ones from the present and future. In approximately eighty years of artistic activity, within the stylistic and formal setting of the visual arts, Pardini’s poetics have borne witness – to those in the art world and to art buyers – to the entire range of professionalism and emotions, using, throughout, instruments and material matter to breathe life into memories and imagination, applied to the dramatic and joyous complexity of his 20th century.
