In Andrea Crespi’s art, infinite lines chase each other without ever connecting, touching and distancing like a sensual dance that plays with the viewer, sinuous and mocking through optical illusion. The aesthetics of the work attract the gaze and simultaneously destabilize it, leaving the doubt of having understood its entire essence. It urges the observer to pay attention, the only way to decipher the image. A reflection and a call towards a contemporary vision that has become excessively hasty. Andrea Crespi aims to surpass limits, venture into new fields of artistic innovation, and draw attention to uncomfortable social issues through experimentation.” Sandie Zanini
