"[...] A painting of light, a painting of glory. I have never seen an exhibition so powerful, so intense, it is a painting that tells the mystery of light, [...].
I have never seen such a beautiful exhibition in twenty years. By now everything in art has been homologated and we no longer understand it, we no longer understand anything because we no longer have the culture of humility or research. Art is the most attractive attempt of man's powerlessness, it is man's most attractive attempt to cross the threshold of the limit and it is visible to see if it is possible to turn a rainbow, a bridge into what is not possible.
The first cultural experience I stumbled upon in this exhibition was: this painting has finally given me what I call the mystery of flight, in this dry and arid air, our wings are once again ready to fly thanks to you. Thanks to you."
Carmine Benincasa, speech at the Bruno Pinto exhibition. After the Silence, by Peter Weiermaier, with contributions by Massimo Cacciari, Valerio Dehò, Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Bologna 2003.
