Leonardo Meoni paints without using traditional painting materials. His
canvases are cuts of velvet. The artist creates his images without
adding or subtracting matter but by “combing” the velvet’s iridescent
fibers to obtain various chiaroscuro effects. Trapped in a dialect of
absorption and reflection of ambient light, his paintings are like
mirages: visions subject to a phenomenology of perception.
The artist’s subject matters emphasize the contingent nature of
perception and offer themselves as hallucinations, fantasies, or déjàvu.
In works like Untitled (Natura morta con limoni) (Still life with lemons),
Meoni explores the visual codes of still life, the genre that, par
excellence, evokes the fleetingness of worldly experience. The
iridescence of the velvet makes his images similar to retinal
impressions of the iconographies that populate the history of Western
painting.
