Alberto Di Fabio displayed at Gagosian Geneva

GENEVA - Gagosian Geneva presents an exhibition of recent paintings by Alberto Di Fabio.

Alberto Di Fabio has investigated the imagery of biology, astrology, and other natural systems through painting, for over twenty years.  He is the son of an artist and a scientist, so since early age he explored mineral and floral structures from textbooks. His portrayals are characterized by him as "the heartbeat of our planet, the movement of the cosmic dance" in an Abstract Expressionism manner.

Mr. Di Fabio has also explored the digital photomontage and environmental actions. In 2000 he purchased an entire valley on the island of Ponza, where he has almost two hundred trees, metamorphosing a cave into a liveable home. That's also the place where he hosted exhibitions and concerts, for the past 14 years.

His latest works are inspired by recent research conducted at CERN in Geneva. There, scientists discovered the elusive Higgs boson or "God particle" in 2012.

Neurons, photons, stars and galaxies overlap in fluid conflations of microscopic and astronomical subjects that evoke extrasensory kinetic visions.

Alberto Di Fabio was born in Avezzano, Italy in 1966, and lives and works in Rome.

"I look to the great abstract artists like Motherwell, Kline, Pollock, De Kooning, but all my work comes from a vision of real nature" Alberto Di Fabio said.
