'Digital Dust' explores Gioele Amaro's paintings where the artist merges, transforms, and blurs boundaries, initiating a dialogue between traditional mediums and new technologies. By digitally printing paint onto canvas and reworking it with varnish, Amaro shifts figurative representation into the abstract, capturing the essence of real-life subjects.
Designed as a book-object, the catalog features contributions from writers and curators, including Mariuccia Casadio, Jérôme Sans, Cristiana Perrella, Nicolas Trembley, and Kitty Scott. It reviews the artist's exhibitions at Almine Rech in Paris, London, Brussels, and Shanghai, along with a museum exhibition in Copenhagen and his notable collaboration on a billboard with Valentino in Paris.
"Gioele Amaro usually defines himself as a digital painter, and he handles pixels with a painter’s skill, although he does not actually paint. His digital artworks are intended to leave the virtual realm and become physical objects — paintings. This movement from a transcendent form with fluid properties to an immanent form is at the heart of the artist's approach."
- Jérôme Sans
