Gioele Amoro 

Painted Words: A Fusion of Art and AI

Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki 

June 7 – August 18, 2024

Gioele Amaro is a digital painter whose latest exhibition is a collaboration between human creativity and AI. Amaro’s second solo exhibition at Galerie Forsblom again pushes the boundaries of art, this time going even further by plunging into the world of trompe l’oeil and exploring the enigmatic allure of ethereal, shimmering surfaces that keep shifting and changing. Gioele Amaro’s new paintings furnish convincing evidence of the artist’s masterful command of both traditional painting techniques and new digital technology.

Gioele Amaro’s latest innovative paintings are the outcome of an intriguing process through which he seamlessly fuses his creative vision with the boundless capabilities of artificial intelligence. Working with AI algorithms, the artist has crafted commands and words to generate compositions that capture the essence of painting in all its resplendence. His AI-generated paintings are designed on a computer, printed on canvas, and finalized with a coat of varnish to bring out its brightness and depth. This results in a blurring of boundaries between the virtual and physical worlds, inviting viewers to reflect on the fundamental nature of perception and reality.

The exhibition immerses visitors in a universe where something extraordinary is born from the marriage of technology and creativity. Gioele Amaro’s paintings revel in subtle interplays of light and color, creating complex patterns that dance alluringly across the surface of the canvas. His paintings offer us a glimpse into a future where art knows no boundaries.

Gioele Amaro (b.1986) is an Italian artist who studied at La Villette in Paris and at the University of Art and Architecture Mediterranea in Reggio Calabria. Amaro has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe and China. The artist divides his time between Paris and Milan.

Gioele Amaro @ Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki - Gods and Losers

Gioele Amaro: Gods and Losers 

Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki 

18 August – 10 September 2023 

Now making his Finnish debut, Gioele Amaro defines himself as a digital painter who works with pixels instead of a paintbrush. His art pushes the boundaries of painting by striking up a dialogue between traditional media and new technologies. Gioele Amaro’s canvas-printed digital compositions stretch the definition of what is traditionally conceived as a painting. His art emanates from the virtual world, entering reality as physical objects that challenge the very notion of what a painting is supposed to be.

Reflections play a key role in Gioele Amaro’s paintings. The artist explores the various meanings of reflections both on a cerebral and material level. He describes paintings as altars for prayer – not the traditional devotional variety, but the modern-day secular worship of such things as physical beauty, aesthetics, and fashion. Gioele Amaro’s paintings are also influenced by the spirituality of Mark Rothko’s (1930-1970) art. Beyond the intermingling of the real and the virtual, the interesting thing about Gioele Amaro’s art is its citational complexity and his use of forms and allusions that connect his oeuvre with the continuum of art history.

Originally trained as an architect, Gioele Amaro takes a special interest in materials and surfaces. His paintings mimic the shiny, reflective surfaces of various metals, such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, or iron foil. Despite their apparent simplicity, his compositions consist of meticulously polished details.

Gioele Amaro (b. 1986) is an Italian artist who studied at La Villette in Paris and at the University of Art and Architecture Mediterranea in Reggio Calabria, Italy. Gioele Amaro has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe and China. In 2023, he lashed collaboration with the fashion brand Valentino. The artist is based in Paris and Milan.
