material with the aim of referring to the process of fossilization The “Paludi” exhibition thus marks the fossilization of humanity that finds itself in a continuous state of immobility and material and psychological fragility In the past the artist has worked on a very precise process of ”metamorphosis” a process that inevitably marks the movement but now with Paludi Agnello wants to tell us about a humanity that has fossilized in a condition of fragility and emotional weakness that prevents the reaction in which matter and color become the protagonists of a message in a state of fossilization that is perhaps the greatest wish for better times for a humanity that can respond-react and return to its origin; bodies of stone heavy for the discomfort of a humanity that does not
