These two words succinctly describe Mariscotti's life work. While a cursory examination of Mariscotti's latest work might suggest otherwise, a more detailed look reveals the presence of the same elements that have characterized earlier works. What has changed is the relationship between these elements, the way shape and color interact with each other. As such, Mariscotti's life work possesses a rare quality in today's art scene, where a single overarching theme is present in an artist's entire life work.
Throughout his career, Mariscotti has succeeded in developing a new language with his art, with each iteration of his work revealing new subtleties of its structure. In this language, the "nouns" are embodied by different representations of shape and color, with the "verbs" emerging in the way shape and color interact, struggle and evolve.
This language, as with any other language, is but a tool which allows
the author, or artist in this case, to create the most elaborate of
arguments and expressions. In that respect, Mariscotti's work
should be recognized as a form of art which transcends the established
and predefined parameters of art.
