Absolute Painting | Cveto Marsič

Cveto Marsič, Koper, Slovenia 1960. Graduated in 1982 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, where he received a classical education in drawing and painting. Linked to the New Slovenian Image and therefore related to the light and ironic figurative painting that triumphs in Europe after the outbreak of the Italian Transvanguardia and the Central-European Neo-Expressionism. Marsič´s painting continue the informalist tradition, that is nourished by a specific personal imprint and produces the quality of the painting paste, which is made of earth and evokes the landscape itself. On his trip to Spain, and after passing through Seville, his work begins to integrate notions of a lyrical abstraction, like powerful elements of light and colour. The colour vanishes during the...

Una solitudine troppo rumorosa

The exhibition's title is borrowed from the partly autobiographical masterpiece by the Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal (2014 is the centennial of the author's birth). The theme of this exhibition is solitude as evoked by the works of 9 Italian and international artists. These are works of different kinds, created using languages that range from photography to the video, the installation, painting and sculpture. One could single out the first moment of the exhibition in the two photographic self-portraits by the Franco-Polish artist Roman Opalka (1931-2011) who last year was the protagonist of an exhibition held in this Milanese gallery. This is a confrontation with ourselves in the solitude of one's own human condition in which the ineluctable passing of time is evident. Also...

Muse inquietanti, ritratte da uomini inquieti

In that little masterpiece of synthesis and sentiments entitled Mr. Palomar, the writer Italo Calvino wrote: "The knowledge of fellow men necessarily demands the knowledge of oneself". Regarding the theme of understanding oneself and others, the mysteries of empathy, identification and communication, anthropologists, sociologists and psychoanalysts have written an infinity of words. The history of art, however, has been equally eloquent. For example, the discipline of physiognomy from Aristotle to Leonardo for the first time linked the moral expression of a person to physical appearance, in every portrait revealing the person's real identity - intimate and recondite - entrusted to the hands of an artist capable of depicting it by means of images. However, in this process of...

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...
