I have a YouTube channel where I mainly talk about pictorial and graphic technique, and it is dedicated to those who are learning to paint and draw, but not only to them, but to all the people who like to deepen their knowledge of artistic technique.
I share on the channel the realisation of a simple painting depicting the glow of the sun of a late autumn morning in the countryside.
Project by Steve Somerset (Music) and Alberto Repetti (Painting)
This is a video to announce a new, exciting collaboration with musician and composer Steve Somerset titled ‘Five Soundscapes In Search Of A Landscape’ which will premiere in September.
Our creative adventure began two years ago when I produced a series of paintings accompanied by Steve’s improvised guitar pieces.
These were called ‘I Hear What You See, You See What I Hear.’ So what is our new project all about? Steve has created soundscapes which have become the springboard for my five paintings.
I will interpret the music to bring colour and form to the canvas thus creating a unique sound and visual experience.
Steve Somerset’s musical career covers many genres, his most recent being the release of two album under the banner of The Haven Green. ‘To Whom It May Concern’ and ‘ Beyond The Shadow of a Doubt ‘ have received critical acclaim for his songwriting and arranging skills.
We are very excited for you to see our new project and we hope you will enjoy it as much as Steve and I have enjoyed creating it.
So it is with great pleasure that I present the first painting called ‘Dance Of The Unruly Leaves’ . You will experience its creation first hand as the musician influences the painter. Look out for further updates leading up to the unveiling of the full project in September.
We are tremendously proud of this work and we hope you will join us on our voyage of sound and vision.
Ballpoint Pen on Cardboard, 14,8 x 21 cm, August 2021
The sheet has been divided by a pencil line into two parts where I will go to perform two distinct and consequent drawings, on the one side a drawing that is the result of the sketches I took in the place where I chose the subject and on the other side another drawing that will testify as for me Drawing is an arcehological research within the layers of my history, above all and obviously of my artistic history. A research that helps me to enter into my perception of the world, of the things around me and of the systematic revision that I do of them and of the way in which I analyze them through the graphic dismemberment and the graphic reconstruction. This modus operandi of my eye is witnessed with the help of my hand by means of the graphic or pictorial signs that appear on the surface.
