Frisoni’s painting

2005-08-15
Davide Frisoni I have been on the Fiat Panda with Frisoni and many times on my Fiat Panda: i have seen the traffic jam, cars braking in front of you, the town’s avenues, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly.
I have never seen them as paintings.
Frisoni’s paintings gave something to my life, to my traffic jam, to my reality; he changed my eyes, he converted them somehow: now, after I saw his paintings, I will not drive my Panda in the same way, nor in Rimini nor everywhere else.”.
(Gianfranco Lauretano)
