A: Is for Art and Science!

Inspiration comes from scientific theories resinating within Nicola Evangelisti sculpture. He embodies his art and ecases it in Plexiglas, lightboxs and neon. Energy and infinite space are amplified in light reminiscent of lightning. Believing art and science are two sides of the same coin, he uses the process of questioning to investigate and help him cope with social and personal issues. Winning the Targetti Light Award he continues to promote light as an expressive tool, caring deeply for the theme of light. His passion for Lucio Fontana’s Spatialism, brought on two cycles that express his work: the “crilex” and the “mirrors”. The “crilex” is a cycle of works developed by a technique using inner flections on plastic matter through combustion, very similar to fractal graphics. In 2001 he introduces the mirror as a media so that light could become free. Creating the piece "Big Bang: in 2002 he showed at the Art Museum in Warsaw. A solo exhibition at the BGH Gallery in Santa Monica introduced the monograph “Luminis Ora” where it was published. His writing “fractal geometry as a new principle for the non figurative arts” brought math and art as one. In 2003 Florence, New York's Chelsea Art Museum and the Italian Cultural Institute celebrated him. Now into visual interpretation of scientific theories that link the concept of space and time, his video “Space-time Distortions” elaborates Einstein’s theory of the universe. A field of gravity behaves just as a lens in producing light distortion, and creates fabulous scenarios. A dimension of space and time brings a balance between poetry and science.












Fiorella Terenzi, an astrophysical and musician, composed the music theme and transforms the elctro wave by the stars into a fascinating sound. Math can sometimes be confusing but when combined with an artistic mind and inspirational music it becomes out of this world and that is a F.A.C.T.
