Curved Paintings is een dialoog tussen kleur, vorm en ruimte. Sinds hij afstudeerde aan de Royal College of Art in Londen in 2013 experimenteert Diiorio met de mogelijkheden van het doek als tweedimensionele drager van het schilderij. Daar waar hij voordien diepte en begrenzing binnen het schilderij creeëerde door het doek gelijkmatig te plooien en vervolgens met zuivere pigmenten te behandelen, heeft Diiorio in Curved Paintings de plooien vervangen door aparte panelen waardoor de werken een bijna driedimensioneel karakter krijgen.
The paintings in this exhibition are monochromatic, in a sense. They consist of similar but independent color. The colors are separated by a physical boundary, the curved panel. They are multiple and singular. They are the monochrome of both spectrum and form. Constructing a painting this way feels more akin to the natural world. Fields of infinite color vibrate and surround us everywhere. Similarly, repeating patterns in nature are often overlooked as singular forms. The mind tries to make sense of it all. The monochrome, as well as the rectangular canvas, is a mental construction that is meant to reflect the natural world at its simplest. Yet in truth, they are lost in nature. Manipulation, deception, and being a willing participant as the truth is bent around us; this psychosis is fundamental to painting and lies at the heart of abstraction. (Luke Diiorio)
