In his cloths, or rather membranes, of even, almost monochrome paint pervaded by threads of different colours, rays of colour, inside thick honeycombs, sockets containing pupils full of light, armed with stingers of light, open up. In Dorazio’s works, light is also - and thanks to him will be for the history of painting - concentration and fixation on a point of light emerged from the abyss, repeated ad infinitum.
One can thus collect the honey of time
(Giuseppe Ungaretti, Un intenso splendore, from the Im Erker Gallery catalogue, St. Gallen, 1960)
