PHENOMENOLOGIES 2017/26

Phenomenologies marks the beginning of Toni Alfano’s exploration of concrete and the descialbo technique. Through the layering and removal of matter, the surface becomes a space of memory and revelation, where images emerge as fragile traces between presence and absence.

The series represents a shift from painting as representation to painting as a physical experience shaped by time, erosion, and transformation.
