SEGNO
“Painting Beyond Matter”
“The exhibition presents the latest results of a journey Coltro has been pursuing for over thirty years—exploring the relationship between image, digital devices, and media systems—thereby confirming the gallery’s openness to the most experimental forms of contemporary art.”

IL MATTINO
“Coltro: Pixel-Based Abstraction”
“At the heart of this visual ‘epiphany’ lie neither canvases nor paintbrushes, but the ‘media painting’—a way of utilizing the screen pioneered by Coltro (born in Verona in 1967) since the 1990s. Each of his digital works seeks to reinvent the language of painting, transcending the material support to arrive at the point where light meets digital data.”
