Critics
Lorenzo Barberis is an introspective Painter and Sculptor that investigates, experimenting on his intimity and his unconscious, to comunicate the essence of existing Inside and then compare with the outside world. He uses an extremely modern language to tell us about life for the consuption, in his perception of the contemporary era. Lorenzo doesn't commit to make a work that resembles beauty, because that's non his point, based on his knowledge of variety of a human being, that is not only beatuiful, with all the things of existence.
A work, His, of invention and exceptional movement to reflexion, a teaching to be capable of seeing emotions that generate very strong vibration, so much to induce action in the hand, that driven by his mind, draws the liric sliding of life, like a film; needs, dreams, truth: a conglomerate of sensations of complex sharpness. Lorenzo, in his action, codes with signals, indications and perspectives and withoud horizons the clean idea of himself, without influences, to escape the concept of being good and beautiful. He can manage to reach our hearts, teaching us the real modernity of contemporary art, coloring cognitively the exuberance of the reactions of what surrunds us.
Lorenzo Barberis wants to involve us like an audience of his being himself part of it, without filters or fear, he asks the world to stop faking, to savor the real beauty of spontaneity.

Painting Anlaysis.
Lorenzo Barberis's works take a stratified perspective constuction. Often his featured subjects appear to identify time differences hilighting a present not necessarly more important of the past. A story of really happened facts can be percieved, and is told us via illustration of thoughs, concepts, wishes or rejects. Are often featured carved and painted heads of figures, always pigeonholded, that resemble a flowing film or the windows of a train leaving to the unknown. In other works, coloured with mixed technique, from acrylics, plaster, crayons, on cardboard panels, canvas and wooden supports of great dimensions, incredible figures can be seen, that manage to respect a simmetric balance. Often the figures are tortured and mortified in traps and cages: they stay silent ad dignified, source of atonement fer the deep punished personality of the artist.
Other works show ambiguous figures to the window with uncovered breasts, sometimes unaware of the observer, sometimes provocative exhibizionists in the act of flaunting their oddity. Lorenzo's works are a true stylistic innovation in te painting scene, of very strong pesonality, distinguishable and unique, while evoking inevitably some giants of the twentieth century painting.
In the extraordinary exuberant bronze sculptures of Lorenzo, like a vulcanic eruption, emerge human and alien beings with geometries that make splendid and balanced figures, offering the wish of being scanned in all their little details, to discover their identity, like a face and his expression.
In 2016 Lorenzo Barberis decide to exhibit his creations, a very young and talented artist with a accademic landscapes painting origin of great importance, that he decides to leave for an introspective and conceptual vocation, entirely noisy and innovative, that has already intrested italian and foreign critics.
