Summary

"One word frequently recurs in the titles of the paintings of Paladino (born Paduli, 1948): silence. The artist, who represents silence made up of shadows and mysterious magic, declares, " ... Art is not a superficial thing, nor a sociological thing, nor a poetic storm. Art is a slow process around a language of signs." Paladino regards his work as nomadic art, based on repeated passages, and explains that by nomad, he means a crossing of the various territories of art - both in a geographic and temporal sense - with the greatest technical and creative freedom. This monograph, which documents about 400 works, including paintings and sculpture, is the most updated and complete examination of the Italian artist, and witnesses, through 2001, more than thirty years of his creative, incessantly prolific career. The book is enriched by the inclusion of previously unpublished material and by an interesting and highly personal photo album."--Jacket.
