A delicate interplay of mark-making and restraint, Matteo Callegari's *Watching Language Go By* layers gesso, pencil, and oil on linen to evoke the elusive, drifting nature of communication. The raw texture of the linen weaves through the composition, acting as a silent undertone beneath gestural lines and translucent washes of paint. The work invites contemplation of language as something fluid and transient — observed but never fully grasped.
