  • It isn’t easy to make a good abstract painting. Joan Mitchell (1925–1992), one of the most innovative contributors ever to the language of abstraction, memorably told the art historian Irving Sandler in 1957 that “there is no one way to paint; there is no single answer.” When it comes to abstract painting, the proof of that observation lies in the many different modes of expression the artists who helped create the genre developed, from Jackson Pollock’s frenetic, paint-flinging confections to Ellsworth Kelly’s irregularly shaped, solid-color canvases. In terms of how it looks, what it has to say and how it says it, with its intended or implied meanings ranging from the ambiguous to the sublime, abstract painting has long been and still can be almost anything an artist wants it to be.

  • There’s the kind of synthetic, pre-fabricated “beauty” you could find on Instagram, nowadays, and then there’s unmitigated, elevated beauty. Somehow, the practicing artist still has the upper hand on the relentless tide of hipsters and half-wits out there who try to claim “fine art” as their own. In that small oasis of time-honoured skill and dedicated craftsmanship, there is multidisciplinary artist Alessandro Roma. Born in Milan in 1977, he was educated at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Milano), and pursued further studies during a 2009 residency at the Künstlerhäuser Worpswede (near Bremen in northern Germany). He divides his time between Milan and London, having presented solo exhibitions at galleries in Paris, London, Milan, Berlin and Roma. Ahead of an upcoming museum solo at the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Villa Croce (Genova) this October, I managed to catch [up with] Roma during a brief weekend in London to describe his shift from canvas and textile-based work into ceramics.
