SERGIO LOMBARDO
Recent Works on Paper
In Sergio Lombardo – Recent Works on Paper Sergio Lombardo (Roma, 1939) presents in the spaces of Numero Cromatico a consistent series of works on paper produced in the past two years, resulting from his research on Quiltings. These are collages produced with a specific minimal combination of “tiles” created with stochastic algorithms for the generation of shapes invented by Lombardo himself.
The Quiltings are part of a broader research on Stochastic Painting, carried out by Lombardo since the 1980s. The generatrix methods of stochastic painting invented by Lombardo have the ability of not allowing any personal expression of the artist and thus the images produced, generated by mathematical programs, can generate unpredictable patterns that are, at the same time, modulated by experimentation.
In 2002 Lombardo wrote: “To imitate these patterns without the necessary mathematical tools, one will never be able to avoid all the potentially useless and repetitive movements and would eventually obtain more aesthetically confused and surely less appealing images than those obtained with minimalistic procedures”. The research on Quiltings needs to be considered as part of a much broader frame of experimental aesthetics and art psychology.
