“Giuseppe Di Lorenzo’s work is based on two essential components: the vitality of the sign and the visionary nature of the form. His paintings therefore propose a continuous dialectic. On the one hand, there are broken lines, traces, segments that seem to have survived an explosion, perhaps volcanic. At the same time, there are dripping brushstrokes, sudden lumps, signs that act like writing. On the other hand, a compact, vaguely identifiable shape appears in the middle of the work. It is an irregular oval perimeter: a rounded pyramid that suggests a mountain ( a sacred mountain), or a peak, and at the same time a cave […]. The balance between sign and vision is finally restored, and the work literally becomes an allusion to a journey (to paraphrase Rimbaud): an allusion to an otherworld that cannot be known, but that can at least be imagined and dreamed of.”
