10111978: a date of birth, typed the way you fill it in a form (ddmmyyyy format), without dots and slashes. Nothing so relevant happened in our lives the day we were born and thus we shouldn't celebrate or pay much attention to a date of birth. Nevertheless I resolve to title this catalogue of artworks from 2011 with the digits of my date of birth. I think that what I look for in painting is spatializing the world that ended the day I was born, namely a prenatal world, eventually a number, and that restless surrender, return and refund (well, you know, even human thinking is often an exaggeration).
Alberto Cellotto was born on November 10, 1978 in Treviso, Italy.
