DESCRIPTION: Alfredo Rapetti's writing is meaningless; it is not made of words, but of paths that do not refer to any particular language and, for this reason, enclose all the languages ​​of the world.

The artist's alphabet, engraved in the pictorial substance, speaks the universal language of emotions, a sort of heart-shaped alphabet. "A sign that voluntarily loses its literal meaning," Rapetti explains, "to look for a more primogenous and universal, without language or cultural barriers, shared for sensibility and origin. Word that becomes a pictogram; a pure calligraphy that does not contain and imposes precise messages or personal choices but which suggests and evokes private responses, in the infinite possibility of a free subjective reading. "

Prayer and mantra, poetry and prose, spots that expand freely on the paper creating unprecedented topography: in these works Rapetti Mogol crashes writing and image toward the great tradition of the twentieth century, from avant-gardes to spatialism and at the same time with the refinement of Oriental calligraphy.
