Torbido

The movements in Enea’s paintings narrate the texture of the material through the raw essence of clay, sand, and plaster. They gather the memory of his hands and his entire body as he spread, transformed, and shaped it. His works resonate with my everyday domestic experience, which are the traces of Matteo’s architectural design, the clay and lime material that constitutes it, and retains the memory of his body, because in each detail and imperfection, I see every physical, personal, and real movement with which it was created. Through Enea’s works, as well as living in these spaces, I perceive a sense of eternity of the material precisely through the unique gestural presence of those who shaped it, which remains contained within it. The imperfection of the material makes existence more real in the memory of the gesture. The senses deepen, I become more receptive. And I perceive better my body and the sensual reality of the world. Allina These works speak of moments of transformation through movements of earth via water and fire. Transformation of matter, rock, minerals, clay. Periods of transition and passage from one time to another. Moments when our planet has changed: it is magma, coal, sand, clouds, ice. This is expressed in the mass of my paintings: a mass that is then plaster, and that moves - or is moved, as by water - to incorporate what it finds. Painting, subjects, vegetation, trash, cities, bones, landscape, writing, and therefore language. What moves or seems to move, the mass, then becomes the subject of the painting itself. These paintings are born from processes of previous works and alterations of them. Going back to move forward with less. States of transformations resembling emotions, what one can feel inside. Emotional stages, transformations of emotions. Traces left. Enea Toldo
