only ghosts remain to obstruct the visual field, each hung in its temporality. Through these application procedures and cancellation , Wool obscures the faint traces of the previous items, thereby using the concepts of reproduction and denial to inaugurate a new chapter in contemporary painting. His works are therefore also characterized by what they are, and what are not and that hold hidden.
In these new works on display in Rome for the first time , Wool blends again the opposite poles of modern painting: the immediacy of human touch and the mediation of mechanical and digital reproduction. Screen printing is the basis on which the artist employs a wide range of techniques - stencil, roll, dripping, spray painting - to pull out of its repertoire versions of their more fibrous pictorial motifs.
Mixing play and painting in layers, constantly revises his work, photographing paintings and superimposing the resulting photographic images on linen. In some cases creates a break in the composition by grafting a bandage or a patch of viscous paint. This procedure is so intense and prolonged as a substance that emerges as the subject of the work: the endless praise concise Wool contingencies of life.
Christopher Wool was born in Chicago in 1955. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Francisco (1989) and Los Angeles (1998), and at the Kunsthalle Basel (1998). His works are part of the collections of major international museums including the Museum of Modern Art of New York;
