... NELLA TUA OMBRA - 1988-2013

The title, a detail drawn from the Song of Songs, aims to underscore a course that the artist has been steering since the start of his career, in which a close link with shadow seems to be the essential principle of his work.
Often, in fact, in Alfredo Pirri's works the coloured shadows that spread on the walls, almost as if seeking to grasp the entire surrounding environment, appear to be direct emanations of the forms that generated them rather than merely the result of interposing an opaque body between the source of light and the wall/screen.
