Exhibitions, Italy, Firenze, 10 March 2016
MARCH 10 – APRIL 12, 2016
OPENING: THURSDAY, MARCH 10 AT 6PM
In collaboration with the Tuscan Anglo-American Festival: March 9-11, 2016.
SACI presents a series of small studies and sketches for larger scale works from the last two years, on paper, metal and canvas by SACI painting instructor, Pietro Manzo.
Pietro Manzo’s work focuses on the relationship between a place and the artist’s opportunity to reshape a path through the traces of past events, developing a balance between objective perception and the ideas that we may infer from a given space. His creative process is developed first through the accumulation of information gathered from on-site inspection, after which the residual memories of a place become the material in which he may intervene. By generating a mental repetition of the events, Manzo establishes a psychic movement between inside and outside where painting and drawing are used as a form of writing, recalling and reshaping an experience. The result is a sort of continuous archive, a sum of suggestions, which are echoes of a personal experience.
Born in Sala Consilina (Salerno), 1981, Italy, he lives and works in Florence, Italy.
