Quel gaudio luminoso / del silenzio delle cose (That bright bliss / of silence of things) _1st series

In my opinion, we witness a fundamental change in the framework of Michele Drascek’s production in 2003. In his research, starting from the analysis of the human body, thanks to the reading and the study of Mario Luzi’s poetry, he gets ashore to the interior and informal landscape with the series Quel gaudio luminoso / del silenzio delle cose (The bright bliss / of silence of things). In this new context, the colour – the absolute protagonist – perfectly coexists with a silent line, marked with a burin that crosses the desserts of the soul. These last works of art are characterised by refined chromatic contrasts where the endless and almost neurotic theoretical research by Michele Drascek, seem to achieve tranquillity and peace, symbolised in those gentle and imperceptible lines that stand out miraculously on still skies. These works of art – I believe – are the most intense.
