In Macro Grassi’s work is often an instant connection, a familiarity and time stops. After progressing his career for many decades and finding great solace in exploring the “Gold Experience” since early 2014….
Every imaginable thought or feeling can be transmitted through the most intimate portal between the genius of the the Artist and the stranger. A reflection as well as an image, presenting a unique opportunity for appreciation to turn into an electric current that releases repressions. As human beings, we can experience a myriad of emotions in a given day...a minute...or even in a single second. We might feel the comforting warmth of the sun while also bearing the sadness of a broken heart…The happiness of a new child and the anxiety of the added stress... Just by looking at us, it’s impossible to tell what’s really going on which is what makes us so incredibly beautiful. Marco’s perfectly captures our amazing complexity and the many colors of our emotions.
We are thrilled to present the very last work in gold by renowned artist Marco Grassi, a remarkable addition to our Aspen Art Gallery collection. Measuring 39x39 inches (100x100 cm), this stunning piece exemplifies Grassi's masterful ability to capture the complexities of human emotion, inviting viewers into an intimate dialogue that transcends time and space.
Since embarking on his exploration of the "Gold Experience" in 2014, Grassi has created a body of work that resonates deeply, evoking a sense of familiarity and connection. His paintings serve as portals to our innermost thoughts and feelings, where each brushstroke and layer of pigment vibrates with energy. This piece, in particular, reflects the intricate tapestry of human existence—joy, sorrow, anxiety, and hope—woven together in a vibrant expression of color and form.
The allure of this work is undeniable, and it comes as no surprise that one of the pieces has already found its new home even before departing Italy. As the first gallery in the Americas to represent Grassi, we are proud to share his captivating vision with a wider audience.
Grassi’s unique technique, which favors direct application with a palette knife over preparatory sketches, allows for a spontaneous and emotive quality. His seductive depictions challenge conventional portraiture, inviting viewers to explore the layers of vulnerability and strength within his subjects, often represented through abstract colorplay and expressive forms.
