VIBRATIONS  
2023 - ongoing

‘Vibrations’ is an open series of artworks using wax-crayons on paper, MDF boards, ceramics and canvas.
Different colors are applied next to each other, creating harmony or tension. Sometimes they blend and dance together at different speed, in an homogenous flow or in multiple sreams and directions. Sometimes they clash and come into conflict with one another.
Inspired by the vibration of particles and the force fields they create when they interact with each other, in a huge ever pulsating flux of constant dynamic movement, mutually attracting or repelling one another, ‘Vibrations’ is also an ode to Color itself, in all its frequencies and hues, the way they can possibly combine and all the feelings they evoke.
These brightly-hued abstract artworks are about color and emotions altogether: on one side they explore the phenomenological impact color has on human perception (seen from the point of view of the viewer being in front of the artworks); on the other they interact with the ineffable emotions and sensations guiding the process of mixing the crayons (seen from the point of view of the artist producing the artworks).
The colors of each artwork are immersive, as immersive is the process of its creation: ‘physical’ and ‘tactile’ both in the way FZ smudges and layers the wax-crayons on the surface of its artworks, and in the way colors appear to the eyes while looking at them.
Ethereal and vibrating but also palpable and present at once. 

Overview
  Francesco Zorzi is an Italian artist based in Amsterdam. His formal research is characterised by an abundance of materials and techniques, informed by his background in applied arts and further conceptualised within art. In an era of increasing interest in digital technologies, FZ diverse application are united by the quest for the qualities of what makes us ‘human’. His contemporary work explore aspects of perception and interpretation of reality, the inner-worlds we inhabit as subjects or a collective, and how we interact with them. FZ develops his visual and sculptural works as tools to interpret and reflect on how we navigate through reality as humans in the present times. His works are influenced directly by his fascinations, jumbling together in a flux of shapes and colours like in a kaleidoscope in perpetual movement. Color and tactility are elements always present in FZ research, as reality happens simultaneously as a duality of lightwaves and matter, fundamentally ambiguous, about interactions between things and how things interact with one another. Oftentimes introducing elements of evolution and reconfiguration in the way his works are put together, he creates a multitude of simultaneous points of view to convey the viewers a sense of active interpretation of what is in front of them, to meditate on the way they create a model of the world, which is different for everyone and in constant transformation. These interpretations can be read as reflections on human condition in the context of contemporary society, as well as his personal interest for scientific knowledge and quantum physics. Looking for new imaginary common grounds, or simply offering the viewer new playgrounds for exploration and wonder.
