His paintings are in fact paintings according to the scrambling logic that is typical of electronic images, where the elementary units of information displayed on the screen is the pixel, with the three colour dots of red, green and blue. Depending on how far or close one stands to Pintaldi\u2019s\r\npaintings, it will determine what reality one sees.\r\n\r\nHis innovative approach is reminiscent of George Seurat\u2019s \u201cNeo- Impressionism\u201d. Seurat's paintings possess 'parallel realities' - viewed from a certain distance a familiar scene appears luminous, slightly dreamy yet lifelike on the canvas but when viewed close-up, it reveals countless brush strokes of unmixed paint. Pintaldi's paintings hold the same principle. But whereas Seurat seemed to overlook the implications this aesthetic could have on how we relate to the world in general, Pintaldi does not.\r\n\r\nFor Pintaldi, artistic technique is not just a means to an end, and optical illusions are not merely novel ways to entertain. How we approach artwork, in its making and viewing, reflects fundamental truths about ourselves and the world at large. Pintaldi puts up a mirror to both.\r\n<div class=\"csRow\">\r\n<div class=\"csColumnGap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 1.56%;\"><img style=\"border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partnersandmucciaccia.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/advanced-wp-columns\/assets\/js\/plugins\/views\/img\/1x1-pixel.png\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"csColumn\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 47.7%;\" data-csstartpoint=\"14.999999237060546\" data-csendpoint=\"472.50001831054686\" data-cswidth=\"47.7%\" data-csid=\"e1547f60-007c-25e0-b920-ac42c7642dc6\">\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Partners & Mucciaccia<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> 45 Dover Street, London W1S 4FF<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> Tel. +44 20 7629 9605<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> london@partnersandmucciaccia.com<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> www.partnersandmucciaccia.com<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"csColumnGap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 1.56%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><img style=\"border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partnersandmucciaccia.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/advanced-wp-columns\/assets\/js\/plugins\/views\/img\/1x1-pixel.png\" \/><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"csColumn\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 47.7%;\" data-csstartpoint=\"487.49998779296874\" data-csendpoint=\"944.9999877929688\" data-cswidth=\"47.7%\" data-csid=\"34c0411c-461b-7c1b-ba63-3b1f96247a00\">\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">For press information please contact:<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> Priscilla Granozio<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> priscilla.granozio@icloud.com<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> UK +44 (0) 780 9601 635<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> IT +39 345 4590 880<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"csColumnGap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 1.56%;\"><img style=\"border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partnersandmucciaccia.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/advanced-wp-columns\/assets\/js\/plugins\/views\/img\/1x1-pixel.png\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"clear: both; float: none; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; font-size: 0px; line-height: 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[155,217],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-london-past-exhibitions","category-mostre-precedenti-londra"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mucciaccia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
