Svegliami | Marco Grimaldi

Svegliami is a work dedicated to the pleasure of waking up, to the moment in which the body begins once again to take on weight in space. The diptych presented in the exhibition immediately left me with the following sensation: that of an apparent lightness in persistent contrast with the physicalness and dimension of the painting. Everything is absorbed by the warm blackness of the space and on the canvas only subtle lights that draw out the geography of the canvas are seen to 'run'. The lightness, the pleasure of silence and the flowing of time are the elements that Grimaldi looks for in continuation in placing himself and putting us in relation to this work. The choice...

There will be oil | Eltjon Valle

In this first exhibition that takes place within the spaces of the Morone Gallery, the Albanian artist presents a series of new works, which consists of paintings and sculptures, that are part of The Marinz Project. This is the main project in which the artist worked for years, dealing carefully with the delicate human geography of the present. The category mainly evoked in this exhibition, is the ephemeral. Life in all its brevity, like a ray of light passing through a thick darkness, making it even darker when it turnes off. Butterflies and insects, rather than other ephemeral forms of organic life are documented here in a state of rest, but it is the devasted peace after the storm. The fragility...

Accoppiamenti giudiziosi | Roman Opalka & Daniela Comani

The exhibition is a very particular dialogue between the French artist of Polish origin, Roman Opalka (1931- 2011), and the Italian artist Daniela Comani (b. 1965) who has lived for more than twenty years in Berlin. The title of the exhibition refers to a collection of stories by Carlo Emilio Gadda. Here, in fact, the coupling is really judicious. In both cases these are research works that start out from the autobiographic element. The works by Roman Opalka on exhibit include papers, photographs and a canvas that forms the complete work entitled Opalka 1965 / 1 - oO. "In my concept the always finite of the work is 1965: as soon as the sign 1 is placed on the first Détail there is already...

Dominati dalla fretta | Pipo Hernández Rivero

Pipo Hernandez Rivero’s work poses questions about “universally accepted cultural truths”. Built with images and ideas very much anchored in the modern culture memory, both his paintings and installations move in the territory of cultural suspicion, connecting texts and images, direct with projected painting, and different questions always posed through a binomial structure. The idea that art often involves text as a fundamental feature of the work has a special meaning in Hernandez Rivero’s work. The fact that the presence of texts is a considerable part of both his paintings and installations denotes an interest in this kind of expressive material, however this is merely superficial as we realize that, in most cases, the phrases are in largely unknown languages...

Tracce di un dio distratto | Maria Lai

Born in 1919 in Ulassai (in the Ogliastra province, Sardinia, Italy), a pupil of Arturo Martini and Alberto Viani at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, Lai – at a time when women artists did not travel and did not enjoy credibility on the part of the art system – experimented with new materials, delving into the poetry of the land and creating worlds made with fabric, thread, bread, wood, canvas.  Following the success achieved in Rome during the Sixties, Lai decided to go back to Sardinia to distance herself from worldliness. She needed space, the wind, the stones and solitude. Her work fed on the ancestral connections with the island and on an inexhaustible “longing for infinity”. “Man –...

Back on the road again | Félix Curto

Very important for the poetry of Felix Curto was the life experience of 10 years in Mexico. The social geography of this land surveyed by the artist especially for the long term, are proposed in his work filtered through the imagination of the American and European counterculture of the Sixties. An important part of recent works of the Spanish artist is inspired by the book by Edwin Gilbert "Chrome", a novel that reveals the perverse games the American car's industry in the 20th century. The title of the book alludes to the popular nickname given to many cars that have fallen into obsolescence in the United States, however, continue to travel through Latin America. Moreover, popular items like plates, old refrigerators...

Hidden goddess | Halim Al Karim

In his works, Halim Al Karim represents his personal experiences during the first Gulf War. His refusal to serve in Saddam’s army forced him to flee to the desert, where he lived for almost three years hidden in a hole in the ground, and survived through the assistance of a Bedouin woman who took care of him and taught him about nomadic customs and spiritual mysticism. The experience of violence, the loss of freedom as well as the mystical tradition of Sufism, which highlights the individual and pure relationship with God and conscience, has affected his personal and artistic reflection. Since 1985 Halim Al Karim has been developing in the "Hidden" series the concept of "al-Batin", one of the 99 names of Allah...

The cross shown

Nuova Galleria Morone presents The Cross Shown a group show dedicated to the cross as geometrical sign composed of two intersecting lines and one of the most frequently recurring and oldest symbols in the history of humanity. The first crosses mentioned by archeology date back to Mesopotamia. As a geometric symbol the Cross serves a function of synthesis, measure, mediation, communication. It establishes in fact other relations with the other signs: thecenter, in the intersection of the two lines; the circle, as it may be inscribed in it; the square and the triangle, as the shapes variously generated by the conjunction of extremities through segments of lines. The same intersection of lines in a given point defines also the idea of different and...

I luoghi dell’immagine | Marco Grimaldi & Matteo Montani

Marco Grimaldi, an artist from Bergamo and Matteo Montani, a Roman artist, meet for the first time in the space of a gallery, through an intense dialogue in a common area of investigation, the painting as a "place of the image." Using different media, the sandpaper for Montani and the canvas of cotton for Grimaldi, both artists aim for a "making art" as a revelation of the epiphany of reality, landing to outcomes of diverse images but linked by the affinity of an introspective coding of reality. In the exhibition, a dozen of large and small works, and a site-specific installation of Montani....
