The Bassi gallery in Palazzo Nicolaci is full of history, but with an extraordinary contemporaneity. Thus it is the perfect setting for this group of artists, who from 31 May to 11 June will exhibit their works in an exhibition entitled "Passaggi".
It is not a collective cultural event in the usual sense of the term, but a single harmonious project.
Painters and sculptors have confronted each other in analyzing and identifying the profound meaning of the word "Passages".
Collective is the effort, the commitment, the desire to relate and amalgamate.
This is how this event comes to life, a true creative ferment of interpretation.... read the rest of the article»
The realization of each single work is a crossing, a journey without direction, without limits.
The act of passing breaks down into a kaleidoscope of sensations. It changes, now becoming a free gesture in the space of the sheet, without pre-meditation or seduction, up to the depth of colour, now the intimate invitation to look inside, to delve into one's own contradictions, to dissolve prejudices, enigmas, closures.
“Passages” is living material that changes in the hands of the sculptor, the vital determination to achieve a complete metamorphosis through a transition. It is the courageous praise of ambition, of the creative stimulus, of the passion in which loss is potential, not limitation. It tells us of a journey in search of truth no longer corrupted by profit and material and by the sirens of sentimentality.
“Passages” is in the decisive stroke of the brush; modulations of earthy pigments as an essential tool to describe the emotional imprint, the wounds and lacerations, the power of the clash / encounter with other human beings; it is vibrations of yellows, cold tones and soft blues that move freely within spatial and temporal dimensions, where presence and absence, fading and union, alternate.
It is being able to capture the essence of dynamism with a material brushstroke through the superimposition of visual planes and the doubling of figures and in the infinite intersections and connections to overcome the ego.
“Passages” is in the introspective space, knowing how to cover the distance between the starting point and the destination in search of one's wholeness and strength. It is caressing the soul and the skin.
