ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK


Simone Pellegrini’s visionary works appear as timeless artefacts describing complex systems of interconnectivity. The works are made through a process of pressing motifs, painted on to discarded paper fragments, on to a rich parchment-like paper, which is then hand-coloured and distressed with oil to create a rich and deep patination of age and wear. Their compositional arrangements echo an archaic sensibility, depicting dreamlike symbology and structures where figures float or wander either lost or found, consumed or enraptured. Whilst remaining cryptic Pellegrini’s paintings make tangible, more elusive philosophical, mystical and spiritual aspects of universal relatedness. 

Simone Pellegrini was born in Ancona, Italy in 1972, and he is currently based in Bologna, Italy. His works have been exhibited internationally and are in numerous public collections including the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna; the Civic Museum in Monza; Volker Feierabend in Frankfurt; Bologna Fiere; Maramotti Art Collection, Reggio Emilia; Unicredit Art Collection, Milan and Museum Kunstpalast Duesseldorf.
