Seemingly abandoned factories and obsolete machinery have always been pivotal themes in Leonardo Silaghi’s paintings. His complex canvases depict industrial and visceral backgrounds in grey that are interspersed with jubilant sweeps of colour. His latest work has moved away from the immediacy of figurative into more abstract renderings, preserving the feeling of dense metallic structures and industrial remains, though not depicted in a figurative manner. Observing and photographing the omnipresence of structures, devices or tools in his environment, Silaghi explores the correlation of objects and illusion of space, as well as the boundaries of paint as a medium.
