"So, we return to that falling. Falling and happening, this time too in a literal sense: falling, falling towards, which means sinking into the becoming, where everything reveals itself. It means plunging into that cone of light that makes being apparent, that allows it in the “here and now” of reality, and of the psyche, and which, transfigured into art, makes it “always happening”, rescuing it from happening. And this is the potent paradox of figurative art: going beyond representation, representing it."

| | UN DISORDINE COMPOSTO
Elisa Capitanio
"But from the very beginning he was that man. This is the mysterious hub of David Dalla Venezia's painting which, before being such, had no phase of figurative incubation but sprang from the powerful desire to "represent," applying a method and an order to the canvas that had already been worked out in his reflections. Art and philosophy gave structure to that man before he was born, and destined him less to an evolution that to a growth.
The preparation of the painting, the brush stroke and the formal composition have been refined over the years, with a slow technical exercise that places David Dalla Venezia among the those who carry on the modern figurative tradition. A careful observer can pick out a number of quotations of that tradition (...) in the actions of that man - which, moreover, are those of every man; but even more evident is the classical framework of the painting's composition, from the niche of the saint, to the polyptych, to the gloomy background preluding a memento mori - all schemes inevitably shaken by the disorder but also by the irony of that man, whose face becomes deformed and is recomposed, with a decidedly contemporary élan, in expressions of return to order".
