Fiedler O Mastrangelo

​

Practice

 

Working in dialogue, their method generates poems, paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Each work originates in Giulia Mastrangelo's visual poetry, verses that navigate the space between contradictions, tracing the depths of human dualistic nature.

​

Before painting begins, the canvas is divided into as many fields as the poem has strophes. As Giulia reads aloud, each section receives Nicolas Fiedler's painterly response. She then returns to the surface: pages torn from the margins of books she has read are inscribed with the verses in ink and attached to the canvas. The work's origin enters it physically, the fragments carrying with them the history of their reading and assuming a new visual presence within the composition.

​

In a second phase, selected paintings become the basis for sculptural works. Elements of the paintings are interpreted in freehand sketches, modelled in clay, then cast in bronze and Murano glass. The poem is now present across two distinct objects.​

​

Together, Fiedler O Mastrangelo treat language as a generative force subjected to material constraint. They translate words into painting, and painting into sculpture. Each passage introduces a shift, the echo of a message that migrates through materials.

​

Artists

​​

Giulia Mastrangelo was trained between Milan (NABA) and Venice (Ca' Foscari University). Her practice is built on the instability of language, on the moment where a single word, a concept, placed within a chain of others, shifts. Where language stops describing and starts generating.

​

Nicolas Fiedler grew up in contact with the Brazilian Atlantic jungle, where his first experiments in drawing began, and later studied Architecture(Fau). His practice moves between organic structure and constructed geometry, pursuing the mathematical logic underlying natural form. ​​​
