[…] Cassarà’s work has always moved in a liminal space, attempting to grasp the unimaginable through physical means. The result, by contrast, is a sign painting in bright colors, which seem to light up from within. This photonic brightness, together with the continuous fluctuation of the sign, gives the works an electronic aura, typical of fluid digital images. In this new series of works the intimate dimension of the book, a form which has always been dear to the artist, acquires solemnity thanks to the larger format which allows for a more immersive aesthetic experience. Even the philosophical reflection on the nature of the soul and its transmigration into the body finds an exact counterpoint in the materials used for the books – not only the canvas and the pigments, but also the leather that binds them in their two covers. In these works, the skin returns: organic corporeality, not pictorially represented in the form of a simulacrum, but present as a body and as a warning.
