Hiérophanies

by Côme Di Meglio


Hierophanies is a series of frescoes resulting in the transfer of printed images on plaster and marble powder coatings. This series is created as small to large panels, as well as in situ architectural frescoes. Hierophanies remind of ancient use of the color blue, from the Quattrocento to greek domes. They suspend into eternity the transitory states of matter, through elements essential to life: water, air, light.

From looking at initial image, the viewer drifts into an inner journey and discovers movements, faces, shapes, like hidden messages in the imperfections of the surface, and the randomness of the transfer.

With this particular technique, the material made from plaster and marble powder absorbs pigments, and create a unique softeness and deepness of color. These artworks irradiate a light that infuses on those who are in contact with them.
