Bluer, alias Lorenzo Viscidi, (Venice 19/06/1962) creates and develops his artistic career over the years by focusing on a personal search is directed for one side to two-dimensionality of the painted canvas and for another to the three-dimensionality of sculpture. For example the plexiglas bodies play on color and transparent glassy, soaring passages that shape the material in a continuous movement and harmony, proportion and harmony of color designed research led to the creation of works of light and movement in his unique kind.
Bluer color research since the early 90s was born out of studies and experiments on the color "blue", an electric blue, with the energy that has earned to him the title of "painter of the blue”.
From '92 until now Bluer has done a research as part of the abstract paintings with a definite stylistic progenitor of iconic landforms. From 2002 he began a series of works called "space-time" in which the painting is "invaded" by inclusions of fragments of mirrors, glass products to various shades silver according to ancient practice. From this stage he develops a testing and materials research leading to the series of "paintings is not right" works in wood and glass and acrylic forms encoded by abandoning the traditional, rational, geometrically, to grow on canvases shaped by unpredictable morphological outcomes. These experiments with new forms from 2005 to the dock works and installations in plexiglass, in which research on the forms and colors blend in with those on the light.
The inventive multi-faceted artist is confronted with new materials, plastics and transparent conjugated to organic matter, vegetable, opaque but "photo-synthetic" in a tangle of matter that includes natural substances and collects fraternal presence and memories of the first and the beyond. Helped by the technical expert glass masters of Venice, the artist attempts to withhold, collect, harnessing light from elsewhere, comes from another source, up to reshape the inert and transparent plexiglass, likening it to living nature plant. He creates unusual sculptures, which together with sunlight St. donate to "green" beauty unusual, new, imperishable.
He has presented several solo exhibitions in Italy and participated in exhibitions and group exhibitions in Argentina, Austria, Australia, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, England, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Hungary, Uruguay.
Bluer's art has been the subject of the thesis to the University of Udine, Faculty of Humanities. Bluer lives and works in Padua, Venice and Nardň (Lecce).
He participated at 52. Venice Biennale 2007 in the event “P3 performative paper project” and at 12. Venice Architecture Biennale 2010 in the event “Oltre il giardino/Un giardino globale”.
In 2011 Bluer is invited to the Veneto Pavilion of Villa Contarini in Piazzola sul Brenta for the 54. edition of Venice Biennale.
