Two years ago we had a mention of use of empty spaces as opposed to "horror vacui." This Latin expression literally means fear of emptiness and it is used in art history, especially in painting criticism, to describe the filling of all empty space in a work of art with some type of design or image.
In Celtic interlocking designs we can find one of the examples of Horror vacui or in the work Uomo Nero by Fulvio Di Piazza. A painter who uses oil to take this terminology to its maximum expression to fill in all the spaces with great detail, as it happens in this work cited or many others of it.
This term can be related to an opinion analysis called "Nature abhors a vacuum" and that suggests by itself how the forces of nature tend to expand and fill any space or hole.
Di Piazza also stands out for creating oil paintings of enormous dimensions where fantastic scenes with all kinds of environments, such as forests or islands in the sky, are characterized by dark colors that impregnate the whole with something dark.
Uomo Nero seems more than is created with a digital tool how can it be Photoshop than with the brush and a large amount of oil, especially for those details to compose a slightly special piece, from which it is difficult to draw some conclusions if we take it from fantasy and terror.
The use of that dark color palette in his paintings plus the abundance of swirling clouds has led many people to tend that his work is quite pessimistic. In fact, di Piazza says that his surrealist work was inspired by Jeremy Rifkin's political and economic theory, particularly from his book Entropy.
