Adrian Paci

Adrian Paci begin to conceive the carpets in 2017, after his collaboration with a community in Sant’Egidio, Rome. In that occasion started an unexpected relation between the artist and disabled people who live in there. The signs that fill these Paci’s recent works take inspiration from the diary of an elderly person with autism. Despite he never had a classical education, he filled the book’s pages with symbols of his own invention, tracked in a frenetic way, giving vent to his personal expression and urgency of communication. Inside the process of production these calligraphic strings are firstly transposed by the artist into a drawing, then in carpets, a language that certainly has a primitive foundations. The temporal dilation and the physical transformation, as the necessity of a premeditate and tiring production, mutate and elevate the nature of these signs in epic. The wool yarn reflect origianl images, protect like amulets: they bring with them the good luck, becoming ornament and blessing of a new historical memory.
