VanityBA: Alejandro Parisi’s World of Ecos, Eros & Floating Circles

Alejandro Parisi sits down for a one-on-one interview in the upcoming edition of InvestBA Privada.

Buenos Aires, which is in the middle of a “cultural arts renaissance,” has one of the world’s most fascinating and progressive art scenes. The vibrant and energetic city is home to some of the most interesting art festivals in the world (such as the contemporary art fair, arteBA) and, not surprisingly a huge number of brilliant artists.

Last month, we met with Alejandro Parisi, a painter who falls directly into this category. Although trained in the figurative style, Parisi, has slowly but surely moved towards abstraction during his career. In his large canvases, he explores color and the change in light, working to push the boundaries of painting.

After four years of working on his last series, “Floating Colors,” Parisi’s exploration has taken him in a new direction, one which has proven to be not only personally fulfilling, but critically acclaimed as well. In 2010, his works “Ecos” and “Eros” were awarded prizes at the Salon Anual Nacional de Santa Fe and Salon Nacional de Artes Visuales, respectively.
