Massimo Pulini
40x40x10 cm, oil on plexiglass and radiography
Over the centuries, the scientific classification of living beings has taken on types of representations that have ended up influencing the history of art itself, in the dry description of forms and in the visual silence that surrounds them. I started from this sober list to look for a graft between the animal and vegetable kingdoms, in this new Noah's ark, in which we are called to save the kingdoms of the world in which we live. Since the eighties of the last century I have painted on x-ray plates that allowed me to combine art and science and to talk about an internal look at the physical body and the body of history.
