Mario Arlati | The Power of Light: ONLINE

Oblong Contemporary presents the online exhibition "Mario Arlati: The Power of Light".

Mario Arlati’s work guides the eye through a multifaceted inspirational experience wherein he reveals the sensory revelry of not only the colors, but also of the varying surface textures. In this way, his paintings narrate the story behind the surfaces and structures that they grace.

A native born son of Milan, Mario Arlati studied art at the Castello Sforzesco. After graduation, Arlati continued working in the figurative style that he had mastered in school. That is, until he ventured to Ibiza (Spain) in the 1970’s. Mario fell in love with the smallest of the Balearic Islands, and there his interests turned to expression through the “materic” Spanish art movement.
