Amedeo Polazzo hangs paintings on canvas over fresco secco murals, and has created a new functional lamp sculpture for this presentation.

Polazzo is of German-Italian descent, and grew up with a palpable sense of a domestic life made safe by those who still recalled the insecurities of war. This series of paintings, which creep off their canvases and wend their way across the wall, encourage innocent confabulation and a more playful way of moving through space. Polazzo’s subjects are both personal and universal, idyllic but anonymous, unknown or forgotten, and outside of time. His imagery allows for gaps, unraveling the impulse to construe a narrative from fragmented memory.
