In his first U.S. one-man exhibition, Italian painter Walter
Bortolossi comes to one of our nations centers of European cultural
influence for a show of his recent work and a series of lectures
and workshops. Bortolossi, who has exhibited extensively and won
numerous awards in Europe, combines a visionary seriousness of
purpose with a lightness of touch that is fundamentally generous,
pluralistic, inclusive, and relevant. Bortolossi is known for his
kaleidoscopic compositions that critically and ironically dissect
the sacred cows of post-industrial societies: mass media,
information technology, scientific progress, addictive consumerism,
omnipresent entertainment, and the struggles over economic power
and globalization. In this catalog, Darius Spieth, Associate
Professor of Art History at Louisiana State University and, in
2011, Mellon Visiting Associate Professor of History, California
Institute of Technology, introduces Bortolossi's work to an
English-speaking audience and conducts an interview with the
artist. Spieth explores the coexistence of high and popular
culture, as well the tension between the past and the present, that
make themselves felt in every one of Bortolossi's canvases. Welcome
to the world of Italo Post-Pop Art.
