Novalis Art Design is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Francesco Carozza in Asia with support from the Italian Cultural Institute – Hong Kong. "Colour provokes a psychic vibration", wrote Wassily Kandinsky in the chapter on The language of form and colour in his book "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" (1910). This "vibration" can also be found in the works of Francesco Carozza: it is a spiritual tension, the pure power of colour and material.

Francesco's style is instantly recognisable. His paintings, simple in their immediacy, conceal the artist's unceasing exploration and connection with the international pictorial tradition of the 20th and 21st centuries. Francesco's approach is ritualistic, almost obsessive. His creative gestures are reiterated on each canvas, in a constant search for the repetition and variation of the elements of painting: gesture, form and colour.
