Cuts | Hubert Kostner

In his mostly small sculptures and paintings, Hubert Kostner proceeds from the landscapes of his immediate environment and deviates from them in many different ways. The artist often takes photographs of found pieces of wood and combines them with en miniature architectonic elements to give the impression of mountain scenes with a hotel or a belvedere. A glance focuses on works whose presentation may seem quite cliché-like; a second glance reveals contrasts and ruptures. This ironic dimension may then induce the spectator o indulge in a critical dilemma. Surely the artist wants to criticize, to draw attention to a certain situation that scares him and puts him off. Disputable, however, is whether or not he believes he can bring about a...

L’era successiva | Mariella Bettineschi

The work by Mariella Bettineschi stands out due to its continuous search for new forms, new techniques and new languages. The Next Era is the title that accompanies a faceted body of photographs. In the words of the artist: "The Next Era project was conceived in 2008 when the economic crisis overturned all of the parameters, our judgement yardsticks and terms of comparison, marking a both profound and definitive change with respect to the past". As in a stage setting, in this exhibition Bettineschi contrasts and compares images of woods, ponds and landscapes, made evanescent by 'breaths' of emptiness and gaseous mists, with portraits of women by Raphael, Palma il Vecchio, Leonardo, Titian, Caravaggio and Bronzino. Inspired by these Renaissance women the...

New Borders | Leonida de filippi

The exhibiton encompasses Leonida De Filippi’s paintings and sculptures with a view to showing the artist’s reflection on the relationship between man and a new idea of the city. The images by Leonida De Filippi are to be understood as being citations with wich the artist shows himself to be a critical observer and elaborator of phenomena of reality. In particular his art is the expression of a confrontation with the media technologies of the generation of the images as they are used not only in visual production but also in electronic or digital production. In choosing the generation of the images as the theme of painting De Filippi defined a position of his own in a clear and autonomous way....

Introduzione al vuoto | antonio scaccabarozzi

Born near Merate in Brianza in 1936, where he died in 2008, starting from the middle of the 1970s the painter began a research work that showed a clear-cut experimental course not only due to the use of new materials but above all thanks to the persistently 'other' forms that his investigations into vision took on. The exhibition title, borrowed from a work created by the artist in 1978, considers the evolution of his language, documenting it from his first works with his Fustellati [Perforations] and Prevalenze [Prevalences] in which a more openly analytical method - in line with the spirit of the period - guided the formation of his surfaces. By way of a group of examples displaying...

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...
