Through the Garden

Minimal elements repeated, (crosshetches formed by superposed stripes in this case) are forming sign-structured fields and at the same time the whole image/non-image of the painting . At any rate, Lorenzon's artwork, through its superimposed and juxtaposed process in the making, becomes material and immaterial at the same time, like some "adding to empty procedure". In “Trough the Garden” the suggestion of a remote childhood memory is rebuilt in a consciously failing attempt to reach a still image.

They say that the only way to really get to know a landscape, is to walk through it; that's why for Lorenzon, metaforically, the action of painting translates into "stepping across the image". The “creator” and the “user” of the pictorial image “are castaways sharing the same raft”. Painting is nothing but the impossible process of reconstructing “fragments” which would eventually lead us to find back the “lost reality"; the moment we see it, however, it's already gone.
