Antonietta Grassi's paintings emanate from a process that is both intuitive and methodical, emotional and detached. Her canvases undergo a relentless cycle of gestural reiteration, evolving over months and years as she refines compositions, encapsulating the paradoxes inherent in the painting process as both a terrain of exploration and a daily meditative practice. Richard Pasquarelli’s work actuates a visual language which represents the workings of the human mind. Through analysis of his own symmetry ordering OCD, and research into mental health, philosophy, Pasquarelli seeks to better understand the connections between physical reality and the psyche.
