Salvatore Fiorello, 'Track'

Salvatore Fiorello’s work deals with perceptions of time, memory, and place. He makes paintings that depict often overlooked sections of suburbia, edgelands, and semi-rural landscapes. Creeping shadows and spectral forms denote odd or uncanny scenes, like recollected memories or nostalgic day dreams.

The locations may at first seem banal or inconspicuous, yet there is often an air of implied or impending suspense, with the implication that the mundane could conceal something mysterious.

Salvatore graduated with an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2000. He lives and works in London.
