ALBERTO DI FABIO “Cosmic breath” Alberto Di Fabio is presenting an exhibition of recent paintings at the European Respiratory Society International Congress 2014. 6th to 10th of September ICM - Internationales Congress Center München Messegelände 81823 München Germany For over twenty years, Di Fabio has investigated the imagery of biology, astrology, and other natural systems through painting. The son of an artist and a scientist, he drew mineral and floral structures from textbooks from an early age. Taking the microscopic and the cosmic as subjects, he imbues neurons, photons, stars and galaxies with sublime gestural dimensions, and seeks to impart optical energies that transcend the physical artwork. His portrayal of these universal building blocks and celestial bodies—which he characterizes as the heartbeat of our planet, the movement of the cosmic dance—comprises an alternative realism, augmented by sophisticated flourishes which echo painterly impulses from Vorticism and Op art to Abstract Expressionism. Di Fabio has also experimented with digital photomontage and environmental actions. Part of this exibiton works are mega mosaics crossed by light as made up of semitransparent pictures and speak to the surrounding world: air, photons and light. the installations are placed like great Gothic stained- glass windows which are the means of communication between God and men, between external light and internal darkness. The astronomical subjects that evoke extrasensory kinetic visions, while intricate symmetries allude to palalles world. Poetic description of natural elements helps the viewer linger during working hours of the congress, that is both highly artistic and natural and spiritual with a relaxing break for the mind and maybe dream the next formula during an unaware elevation of the spirit. That is his dream! About the ERS Congress The European Respiratory Society ERS is dedicated to raising awareness of lung health and improving prevention, management and treatment of lung disease.
