A tangle of branches, leaves, light, and mysterious shadows: this is what Luca Pancrazzi calls a “Sottobosco Fuori Registro” ("Undergrowth Out of Register"), one of his iconic works, created in this instance specifically for la Lettura. For Luca Pancrazzi (born in Figline Valdarno, Florence, 1961), the “Fuori Registro” (Out of Register) are neither figurative paintings nor abstract ones. Instead, they inhabit a layer of repetitive, unconscious, and liberating painting, a kind of “doing” without thinking, a rhythmic progression that builds a whole, moment by moment. A highly cultured artist with international experience (he has worked in the United States with Jo Watanabe and Sol LeWitt, and in Rome with Alighiero Boetti), Pancrazzi engages in rigorous and sophisticated research, centering on the concept of space and the value of perception. He explores urban realities and the natural world through diverse media, mastering painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, and video with exceptional skill. Luca Pancrazzi, one of the most significant voices in the Italian art scene, helps us grasp the deeper meaning of making art, an endeavor that also teaches us to see with greater clarity and understand that the world is, in essence, a reality “Out of Register".
