Abstract 3 (2009) Painting by Ferigoli

With an asymmetrical geometry, Ferigoli brings to the canvas, the paper, the surface, all the fascination of a domestic topology. On the flat support she projects her silent and solitary affection graphically. Her work is feminine and her images derive from real approaches, where the objects are born from an intimate light; they reach a higher level of reality than indifferent objects, than objects defined by geometric reality. They propagate a new reality of being. They take place not only in an order, but in a communion of orders. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art, are closely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.
