Fabrizio Plessi
Profile
The Italian Fabrizio Plessi works like a therapist to illuminate the dark areas of thought with the delight and sweetness of water flows.
As a true alchemist, he uses the forces of nature, the tellurics elements, the water as a primary energy, merging them with the video.
Materia prima (1989) works like a creation of the world, a stone volcano from which emerges, like the original egg, a silent television monitor.
Biography
Fabrizio Plessi is an Italian visual artist, born in 1940 in Reggio Emilia. He studied and taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
