“Delicate and introverted in the sense of an inner turning toward a vision born of a participation in the existence of things, Casale’s painting now tends toward representations drawn from a realm of trembling entities, pulsating with cosmic beauties.”
Nicola Micieli
Oil on canvas, 100 x 100 cm, 1999
“Small organisms, lacking individual emphasis, become an intricately woven, pervasive tapestry full of disordered tensions that gives expressive life to the organism of painting. One witnesses a fantastic metamorphosis of living beings into a labyrinthine tangle of micro-pictorial structures—and vice versa.“
Francesco Poli
Oil on canvas, 40 x 50 cm, 2005
“Casale imbues his works with meanings and references, subtle evocations and allusions to the ‘other’ psychological landscape, to the map of the soul that is reflected in nature as its double.”
Nicola Micieli
Oil on canvas, 70 x 80, 2004
“Painting transforms, dissolves, and reassembles… objects disintegrate into patches, disappearing into the landscape of memory.”

“In the face of the aggression of our civilization, Casale seeks refuge in the constant lyricism of an image that shakes off the burden of consumerist time.”

“According to the criterion of ambiguity, his work unveils the transitional states from form to formlessness—from the timbral emergence of a color or a clump of matter to the diffused tonality of the atmosphere, from the revealed and manifested image to that which is suggested and can be intuitively reassembled by each along the trace of a personal vision; this very indeterminacy serves as the pictorial analogue of the landscape of the soul that truly inspires the painter.”
