Journey through the spaces of the mind of a true "Renaissance man": talented designer, inspiring teacher, curious experimenter, and ultimately a profound thinker. Franco Purini's insatiable eyes, the tireless hand and the unstoppable need to explore and understand, are expressed through his work. Dense of lines, references and textures that cross time and space, this work becomes memories of places real and imagined, of worlds of experiences and thoughts, of things seen and unseen. Through these drawings Purini proactively and methodically investigates the ambiguous threshold between light and dark, such a shadow area at the twilight between reason and imagination. His work becomes metaphor and synthesis of a drama of frictions, of conflicting logic that compose our daily life, merging misery and lyricism, apprehensions and dreams. Here lines and images explode and implode between figurative and abstract references, between shattered natural landscapes and unknown mathematics, mysterious geometries and not-yet-heard musicality. These same lines become canyons then, engraved paper, extruded surfaces, simulating a depth and a simultaneity of dimensions that is mere illusion.
