In an upcoming solo exhibition and a display of artistic mastery, Bali-based Filippo Sciascia showcases his latest collection of photo-realistic and painstakingly crafted paintings, featuring a return to his iconic "cracked" painting series. Delving into his enduring fascination with light as an anthropological catalyst, Sciascia's work portrays various scenes illustrating light's pivotal role in the development of mankind's technological progress. Aptly titled 'TABLET,' the exhibition spans both ancient and modern eras, symbolising the evolution of communication and technology. Tablet describes ancient clay stones with cuneiform inscriptions, and also the medium of today’s digital mobile technology, and with that, Sciascia weaves a visual narrative of humanity's adaptive journey through time.
