SOFT PAINTIGS
Donatella ferretti
The world through Ivo's eyes. A world in which everyday objects appear as if transfigured, illuminated by the absolutely joyful and divergent gaze of this young and eclectic artist, revisited and shaped into powerfully vital representations.
In this series of works conceived from a precious material deeply rooted in the history of his city, Ascoli Piceno, Ivo Cotani seems to evoke dreamlike, almost childlike images in their chromatic immediacy. Imaginative and colorful animals, clouds swollen with dreams and soft pillows for a child sleeping under the stars thus spring up.
In this way, thanks to the extraordinary creative flair of Ivo Cotani, the butterfly born from that cocoon that produced the precious yarn, belying its fate that would condemn it to a short life, will instead continue to hover in the air, drawing fantastic worlds where the possible meets the desirable.
Ivo's world, indeed.
