Davide Balliano (Turin, IT 1983) is an artist whose research
operates on the thin line of demarcation between painting and
sculpture. Utilising an austere, minimal language of abstract
geometries in strong dialogue with architecture, his work
investigates existential themes such as the identity of man in the
age of technology and his relationship with the sublime. Through a
practice that is self-described as monastic, austere and concrete,
Balliano’s meticulous paintings appear, upon first glance, clean
and precise. However, closer inspection reveals scrapes and
scratches that uncover the organic wooden surface underneath the
layers of paint, as a decaying façade of abandoned modernistic
intentions. In addition to painting, Davide Balliano is also known
for his sculptural work, which translates the visual vocabulary
found in his paintings into solid objects, often in stainless steel
or ceramic. The volume, which offers a wide selection of works that
offer a complete overview of his production, contains a
conversation between Osman Can Yerebakane and the artist, and a
critical text by Michele Robecchi. Text in English and Italian.
