Salvatore Fiorello’s paintings depict depopulated urban spaces that are devoid of people.
His emptied environments have an air of silence, and although uninhabited, they still give the
impression of a space being watched. Salvatore interrogates images of often over-looked
architectural domain, exploring the structure of man-made space.
The locations of the pictures are vague, as signs have been omitted. Consequently we see
similarities between the generic buildings that make up a city with the images looking both
familiar and strangely abstracted.
Our eyes are encouraged to look vertically, down a street or up at a building, but because the
images are made up of a series of horizontal lines, our eyes move from right to left and close
up the images disintegrate into abstraction.
