From 'Appunti per un'estetica del grigio' by Gabriele Salvaterra

"An investigation between cognitive interest, morbidity of vision and truth of the document that is addressed in the traditional field - with painting and drawing - by Ettore Pinelli (Modica, Italy, 1984), through an obsessive work that retrieves its subjects from the web, television and cinema, he too in a detached and involved way at the same time. The grey area here is a giant Pandora's box consisting of the internet and all the communication channels available with great simplicity to the average Western man. Within this archive, created collectively and constantly updated, Pinelli selects scenes of violence of any kind - real and fictitious, cinematographic or authentic - as if he wanted to distil an interpersonal relationship taken to the extreme, to the degree of rupture, but nevertheless representative of a relational dynamic that characterizes us as men.
