Pablo Accinelli

Accinelli appears to seek a perfection that is unattainable in the order of the world, measurements that turn out to lack accuracy or to be altogether non-harmonious, even if their references are sometimes related to the utopian proposals of modernism. The use of concrete, for instance, the material par excellence of modernist architecture, is not accidental, neither is the the superposition of forms in his collages featuring black circles on white pages.

In that series, hanging from a wall, Accinelli created an alterna- tive space, as if he illustrated the imperfect passage of time through the perfect forms against backgrounds that were far from perfect − page break marks in deep black on time-stained paper. For another work, the artist constructed two identical boxes separated by a mirror, as if he squared them by projecting them in space, the distortion of the dimensions of a cube, which seemed to move at the same time that it existed beyond the mirror. In this way, Accinelli suggested a belief in space that is stronger than measurements.
