Gio di Busca. Oro

“In his latest production Giò di Busca (Milan, 1959) he stages completely golden works, gold color and gold leaf. It is a cycle of material works (Lave d'oro), in which the brushstrokes overlap, creating fantastic spaces between which they appear, sometimes, other colors such as green, red and black, or the semi-precious stones that seem to arise from this magmatic matter, lived, whose inspiration comes from the altar frontals of the Church of the Salute in Venice. […]

His latest works, the golds, note, they tell us about an "immaterial" art, to use an expression by Yves Klein, of a spirituality that transcends the will of the artist, and who tries to interpret that empty space, that hiatus between matter and thought, that same void that cannot be filled with reason alone".

From the text “Giò di Busca. Lave d'oro – Labyrinths of emotions” by Vittoria Coen
