Between a workshop and a conference with experts, painting also finds its place at the Aerospace Festival. Thus, in his narrative of the world to come, Mario Carta Fois offers visitors his vision of the invisible. "Cosmic Jellyfish - Constellation of Venus," the exhibition curated by Daniela Cittadini, presents the research of the artist, born in Nuoro in 1971. This research is constructed through a personal language in which urban design, abstraction, and scientific imagery meet. Abyssal creatures, cellular forms, and floating organisms take shape in suspended visions, where the boundary between what belongs to the Earth and what we imagine beyond it becomes increasingly subtle. Mario Carta Fois's painting explodes against dark backgrounds: luminous filaments and chromatic explosions evoke nebulae, constellations, galaxies, and star trails, creating a continuous dialogue between the microscopic and the macroscopic.
A journey into dimensions that exist all around us but are, for the most part, invisible to the naked eye. "My vision is that of spaces and abysses," explains Mario Carta Fois. "I work a lot on black paper, although lately I've also been using colored paper. My painting is dripping, abstract, and informal." It is precisely through material, gesture, and color that the artist constructs these invisible worlds. His pictorial research has developed from the culture of urban art and Abstract Expressionism. "The themes are always these two worlds invisible to the naked eye," explains the artist. "And my goal is to transport the viewer into these unknown worlds." Among his works, present in public and private collections in Italy and abroad, is the cover of the album Roots (Tǔk Music), by Daniele Bonaventura and Arild Andersen.
