Put near oneiric and uncanny imaginary to surrealism partialy explain Fulvio Tomasi research. Not devoid it of echoes literaries recognized in etching “Perturbations” where, mistaking animals, humans and anthropomorphic beings, they draw to mind H.P.Lovecraft images. Odillon Redon is the landmark which, instead by estranging effects, evoke an unconscious where metamorphic law govern. From Ninetie’s elaborations (“El neverin”) obviously symbolics to those more recent beat ways more complex about icons dissolution and on organic and unorganic hybridization, until to last minimal and metallic proposal, Tomasi don’t never leaves iconism for come to not figurative results. But, from his point of view, interpretation of unconscious world shrink from any solution form. Interior world is a charade don’t wants and don’t musts be explained yet it musts be lived only by all its contradiction. This imaginative inventiveness don’t is thinkable on explanation horizon since the game at stake don’t is only forms and its sense yet Karstic gorge of unfathomablest mental recesses. But it result meaningful that presentest icon in these images is eye. It’s just by vision who our unconscious acquires basic iconic particles of its representation. This world made by images resist to our explorations, into its distressing primitive, like labyrinth without centre and without exit, it multiply itself by interpretation. Maybe for this reason Tomasi research is going to progressive cut work. After horror vacui of his less recent works it’s succeeded a reflection about empty spaces lived with few figures reabsorbed from deep dark . In last landing-place “See You” shadows predominate: last matter remaining make up our dreams.
