Jacopo Pagin’s enthralling paintings are deeply grounded in art history in the multitude of influences they explore, yet highly idiosyncratic and contemporary in their execution. The elongated figures and objects, delicate tones and uncanny, haunting beauty of the compositions echo past artistic periods, such as the Mannerist sophistication of the end of the 16th century, the ornamentation of mid-18th century Rococo and the dreamy, grandiose Neoclassicism of the 1930s.
Pagin’s work however brings a distinctively contemporary sensibility to this wealth of artistic references. The mysterious compositions, dreamlike themes and ethereal colours are reminiscent of mind-altering experiences conducted under the influence. Their hallucinatory and experimental quality imbues the artist’s work with a free-flowing contemporary feel, creating pictorial enigmas at the confluence of old and new.
