Patrizio Sanguigni
Patrizio Sanguigni was born in the Marches (Italy) and took a diploma as professional teacher of art at the State Institute of Art and then he got a degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata. At the moment he is a teacher of History of Art and Drawing at a secondary high school.Besides his knowledge of the pas art, he is an authority on contemporary art especially of the 20th century. In particular his studies and his attentions are addressed to the signs and the communicative structures of contemporary art with all its consequent social and historical implications. This knowledge is also due to the fact that he has been working in the artistic field since 1981 with a series of exhibitions in several galleries, cultural centres, important competitions

THE DECORATION AS METAPHYSICS OF THE EPHEMERAL
The decoration, in the form of marks repetition, in their persistence, absoluteness and uselessness, looks as a play which for Sanguigni often springs from the image becoming lateral, from its pretended absence.
This is an oblique logic of the detail that can be found in the work ”Untitled“ (2007), therefore we can speak of non-centrality, almost emptiness of the image.
The emptiness of a non- imitative image is of value not for what it represents but for what it does not represent. In other words the image tends to avoid; the play of the portrayal to focus the attention on what is incomplete, sideways inconsistent, empty, ephemeral , that is, a decoration containing its own decadence because of all these reasons.
Here is the new metaphysical creed of the artist, an art which recognizes, to use Baudillard’s words, “its disappearance” in the persistence of a play.
