Analysis and context

Artwork Notes

Painting analysis

MEMORIES 1 feels cool before it feels complicated. Blue, white, black, and grey move across the square canvas in layered horizontal bands, like fragments of weather, wall, and water pressed into the same surface. The thin vertical lines change the rhythm: they drop through the bands like cables or rain on glass, giving the painting a quiet pulse rather than a fixed centre.

Fioroni's knife work keeps the surface alive. Some bands are dragged smooth, while others break open at the edges, letting darker layers show through like old paint exposed under a scraped wall. The vertical marks do not simply sit on top; they interrupt the blue and white strata, so the eye keeps moving between slow accumulation and sudden cuts of light.

Among the MEMORIES works, this one has the clearest urban temperature: restrained, cool, and slightly wired. It has a kinship with Agnes Martin's disciplined lines, but Fioroni's surface is rougher and more physical, shaped by paint that has been built, scraped, and returned to. The result is an abstract work that feels both orderly and unsettled, like memory passing through a city grid. Oil on canvas, 60 × 60 cm.

Theme

Style and context

MEMORIES 1 belongs to a contemporary abstract tradition in which the painted surface becomes a record of construction, revision, and pressure. Its horizontal strata and vertical interruptions place the work near material abstraction rather than pure geometric design: order is present, but it is tested by scraping, layering, and uneven edges.

A useful comparison is Alberto Burri, whose postwar surfaces treated rupture and material stress as meaning in themselves. Fioroni's method is less severe and more system-minded, shaped by years in digital and spatial design, but the lineage is clear: the picture is not only an image of memory, it is a surface where memory has been physically worked into form.

Artist Profile

Artist introduction

Emanuele Fioroni, known professionally as Lele Fioroni, was born in Milan in 1977. He studied computer science at the International University of Milan and later worked in web and 3D design, building a creative practice shaped by structure, interface, and visual communication. He first came to Shenzhen on business in 2009, settled there in 2014, and in 2018 committed fully to painting after years of working alongside design and music.

Fioroni is a cross-disciplinary artist, designer, vocalist, and guitarist, as well as the founder of Art View (Shenzhen) Art Co., Ltd. His work grows from the meeting point between Italian visual energy and the Chinese culture he has lived with in Shenzhen. Chinese characters, urban change, layered surfaces, and material contrast are central to his practice; he often breaks down strokes, blocks, and signs, then rebuilds them through colour, texture, and divided fields.

His materials have included acrylic, gold leaf, masking tape, keyboard parts, cables, and oil paint, depending on the project. This openness gives his work a distinctive position within Shenzhen's contemporary art scene: it carries the discipline of design, the rhythm of music, and the physical freedom of studio painting. Fioroni has presented solo exhibitions in Shenzhen, including Time Labyrinth in 2020 and The 'Art' of Chinese Characters in 2021, and has participated in local and international exchange exhibitions.
