Paolo Cotani *


(Rome 1940–2011)
Benda, 1975, signed and dated P. Cotani 1975 on the reverse, acrylic and bandage on canvas, 100 x 100 cm, framed

Photo certificate:
Associazione Archivio Paolo Cotani, Rome, 6 November 2015

Provenance:
Galleria La Bertesca, Genoa (stamp on the reverse)
European Private Collection

In 1975 the artist gave birth to his most famous cycle, that of the bandages which, even in its radical nature, does not avoid the issue of painting. On the contrary, it provides another variation via a constructive process in which the bandages are themselves supporting the canvas in a dialectic which impacts the nature of the surfaces. […] In a truly ritual bath, the bandages are painted twice: before being mounted on the canvas, and right after the definitive dressing, almost in a desire to conceal the material, which camouflages itself in a dialectical procedure devoid of any emphasis.
Alberto Fiz, Cotani, la maschera e l’ossimoro, in “Paolo Cotani. Tensioni”, Milan 2016
