The richness of Giuliano Dal Molin’s formal research originates from the unveiling of the expressive potential of the material in its pure form. Colour coincides with the moulded material such that the pictorial surface seems like the very manifestation of the form, like the soul of the abstract form that transpires from the plastic body and allows itself to be explored by light.Colour and light communicate thanks to the form, making it different as the hours pass by. The conflict between sculpture and painting is always heated and, along with it, the boundary between pictorial surface and plastic form is blurred, such that, to the eye, one prevails over the other in an unsolvable and fascinating tension. So a close look at the sculptures reveals the surface values constituted by those colours and by those powders that give body to the pigment and are spread in such a way that the red seems to emanate an orange or green reflection and the violet has a yellowish tinge. A broader look at the works, on the other hand, almost annuls the pictorial value, enhancing the plastic element that has different meanings in different spaces. Both in the totemic forms leaning against the wall like bridges or springboards towards another dimension, and in those that are collected like clots of time, Giuliano Dal Molin’s current research appears to reach the culmination of a formal study where rational artistic work merges and becomes confused with the expression of latent energies in the material and in space, of luminous chromatic emotions. His is an investigation around spatial scanning, to the rhythm that articulates the wall and subdues it, making the space of art a plastic and changeable material: Giuliano Dal Molin’s work does not take place in space, but treats it according to its needs, defines it and creates it with the complicity of light. These sculptures therefore, should not always simply be looked at, but they should be observed and discovered, because behind the apparent formal cleanliness lie hidden aspects and meanings which ask the observer to be grasped with the tools of the imagination and aesthetic sensitivity.
