Alessandro Papetti: Lo Spacio Tra La Realtà

He is known for his eerie industrial landscapes, and Alessandro Papetti’s most recent oil paintings are no less haunting. Abandoned arcades vibrate with expectation (Metro Passy Paris), leading to foggy boudoirs (Interno), frozen railways (Molo Industriale), to a shipyard where a freighter floats comatose beside a vacant dock. Writes Papetti: “The light in my cities is fairly northern because I was born in Milan and that definitely had an influence. These are the colours from my city, from the air that I’ve breathed.”
