Filippo Sciascia & Roberto Coda Zabetta: Recent Works

Presented by Valentine Willie Fine Art, the exhibition showcases recent works by Italian artists Filippo Sciascia and Roberto Coda Zabetta.

Indonesia-based Italian artist, Filippo Sciascia, explores the power of light in representation, through an artistic dialogue with Caravaggio’s stunning masterpieces. In his series of works, Filippo continues his explorations of the different approaches, techniques and strategies of representation. For Filippo, painting is a medium used to explore his complex ideas about the problem of image identification and creation, and it’s also his further attempt to identify issues of “how the eyes see” the world.

By depicting facial expressions, Roberto’s paintings reveal the profoundest truth about human beings that can be hidden behind a mask. A basic tenet of these images is their dislocation – from surroundings, from temporality, three-dimensional form and colour.
