The American painter Tom Parish has come back to Venice, as part of his continuous peregrination between the real city and the one depicted on canvas. In one of the rooms of Venice’s Museo Diocesano - Sant’Apollonia, from September 14th 2012, he presents his second Italian exhibition Canti Silenziosi di Venezia /Silent Songs of Venice, selected recent works on a well-established theme in which – it’s fair enough to say – ‘he is navigating chartered waters’: Venice and the incessant seduction of its play of reflections, of its journeys through light, of the attraction exercised by water on every element of the city. A delicate and meticulous artist in his reading of Nature, but decisive in representing shapes and structures and in adopting an intense chromatic range, Parish manages to first involve and then ravish the observer who spontaneously enters in the very same state of mind: of a slow and careful observation of every change recorded by the element of water, of the silent song of a journey across the city that is not a reproduction of forms a but communication of the essential.
