His work clearly takes these issues and formal considerations to a higher plane, and it seems there’s no stopping him as he prepares for his next solo show at New York’s Guild & Greyshkul gallery, where the new collection of images will focus largely on his obsession with rocks and mountains and questioning how to build a landscape.”
These drawings continue to pour from his hand and they’ve done some high-tech evolving of their own as he’s now also working on animations in techniques ranging from stop motion and cell animation to CGI — perfect for an artist engaged in questions of history, formal transformations, and representation. If his epic is a grand love story and poetic commentary on the world, it’s also a narrative about modern visual culture’s love affair with mark-making (his own included), it’s romance with the hand of the artist, and the ways in which critics have characterized mark-making protagonists.
Certainly we don’t need to say it, but we’re glad to see Caivano making his own mark with this beautiful work. Call us old-fashioned, but we seem to have been absorbed into the love story in which the artist shows us a new way to look at the art of looking at the world.
