ANTIMO BERTOLINO - CONCEPT by Anna Radaelli In the works of Antimo Bertolino, the conscious and impeccable technique in the carved wooden panels, painted with acrylic colours, is the result of a self-taught path that sees the work of restorer coexist with that of the artist, reuniting contemporary artistic production with that of great workshops of the past. Antimo has had several masters from diverse artistic fields; the result is a cross contamination certainly attributable to Art Nouveau, learned through the techniques of the goldsmith and antique furniture restoration, as well as by more modern artistic movements: Spatialism, Op Art and Minimalism, that are all present in the artist's sculptures. At first glance, the works appear as paintings, given their creation on wooden panels; however in taking the time to observe the carved waves inside them, they reveal new paths to the observer. Starting from the physical experience, transmitted by the visual sense, the mind calms down and with it any attempt to conceptualise the work. We let ourselves be carried away by the sensual enjoyment given by the movement of the monochrome colour, made alive and iridescent by the carvings that refract the light and by the interior space that suddenly finds itself aligned and part of the exterior. The work is therefore a mirror that amplifies and reverberates the physical and mental world of those who observe the fractals, the waves, the lights and the colours that turn from two-dimensional objects into real sculptures; within them there is not only the third dimension (depth) but also the fourth (time) and the other dimension, namely that of the observer, protagonist together with the work, in their own perceptible and the perceived world.

L'atelier de restauration et d'encadrement fourni un excellent travail. Tant dans la restauration que pour l'encadrement. Mme Granet est toujours de bon conseil, comme toutes les personnes qui travaillent dans l'atelier. Je recommande vivement.

Sehr erfreut über den Einband eines schlecht geklebten, brochierten Pflanzenbuches Around the World in 80 Trees. Es fiel, neu, bereits auseinander. Jetzt ist es ein tolles Hardcover! Ausserdem Aufzug einer Karte des Alpenbogens 2 x 1.5 m. Beide sind mir sehr wertvoll. Danke

Seit mehreren Jahren, erteile ich dieser Firma Aufträge für Einrahmungen von Meisterzeichnungen, Pastellen, usw. Die Beratung von Frau Haag ist jeweils super, wir finden aus der grossen Auswahl, immer einen attrak-tiven, sehr passenden Rahmen dazu. Kürzlich erteilte ich auch einen Kleinauftrag von 30 Exemplaren, einer von mir verfassten Firmenchronik. Das Ergebnis übertraf meine Erwartungen. Ich hoffe sehr, dass diese Firma, die ihr Handwerk so gut beherrscht, uns noch lange erhalten bleibt!

Topqualität, super Kundenservice, sehr freundlich und kompetent
