_The artist Vincent Gagliardi (b. 1957), apostle of the simplicity, finds his truth in the deprivation and, say it, in the poverty.
Vincent likes abandoned locations, houses free from furniture and their inhabitants. Only balatum, this inexpensive product which covers the floor in modest homes, seems to retain traces of life whose lives he likes to guess about and imagine.
Like an epidermis, balatum tells stories and reveals the passing of time, somehow forming a link with his own personal story. It is what Vincent Gagliardi calls “ The skin of his thought”.
With balatum as his medium of choice, recycled with other used materials, the artist signs works where the raw material contrasts with whether it is a question of poetry and thought, intuition and feelings.
