Gaetano Frigo

artigiano

Gaetano Frigo lives and works in Vicenza. The elements that make Gaetano\'s work recognizable are certainly the silhouettes of the plants, omnipresent in all the paintings, and the characteristic way of working by subtraction on the colored cottons as if to lighten them, expressing a profound interest in the connection between nature, mental activities and physical health of human beings. This medium, discovered in 2019, has become his favourite, although since 2016 he has experimented in various ways with markers dissolved in alcohol, mirrors and salt crystallisations, and still secretly enjoys creating other works attributable to nature and its transformations . Before rediscovering his passion for the visual arts, he composed electronic music for ten years, finding out that sometimes ideas do not come from us but are an expression of the physical matter itself that uses us as a medium. Growing up watching his carpenter father create everything out of wood in their home, he assimilated and recognized the value of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
