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....

back in black | julio blancas

Julio Blancas wanders, see things, reflects about nature and nourishes himself from different forms to create new landscapes. Working mostly exclusively with graphite, over different surfaces, Julio draws and draws with nature as the starting point, with the reference of a landscape that at the end of the process is consigned to a simple anecdote. His method is obstinate and simple: darkens the surfaces through the repetition of the essential graphic gesture, the line. A line always draw with graphite reflects accurately the different light gradations, and build forms born from opacity, from the total blackness, thanks to an exquisite organization of the established surface to make the reflection of the exterior light finish the work. Julio Blancas works with the arguments...

Human Tapestry | Sadegh Tirafkan

In his most recent work Tirafkan combines traditional carpet weaving with modern digital photography. He studies what it means to be Iranian today and how modern identity can be represented by the merging of past and present. His works focus on themes of Iranian traditions and religious rituals. Sadegh Tirafkan uses his cultural knowledge to explore his Persian identity. “From 2006 I have been focussing on population and its unbalanced distribution around the world within my works. I don’t only look at the topic from a political aspect but also and most importantly from an artist’s eye – an eye which originates from a thousand year old culture, rich with history and civilization. I have been trying to combine current events...
