Etra Home Gallery presents On tiptoe, artist Valentina Crasto by Valeria Polly Ferronetti and Veronica Rastelli.

The doors of Etra Home Gallery will reopen on Saturday, March 18 to accommodate the artist Valentina Crasto entitled In tip of feet.

Each image is an invitation to the eye, an open door between the known and the stranger. We are called to the comparison of the works with the kindness of the traveler, as guests in transit in the visual mansions of matter. The art of Valentina Crasto invites us to encounter ancient themes, the thread as a daily repair tool, takes the form of random gesture from the encounter with the patient composition. The temporary nature of the body recalls a female understood as intimate quality present in every human life, to tracks that border on white and make steps, snapshots of the moment this first of elsewhere. The choice of style does not provide stitching, or cuts, speaks of a dematerialization necessary to declare a presence, an invitation to research the matter in its being in transit, in its making voice of an embryonic transformation in the making. The trip to these works requires us to leave aside our need to understand them, to enjoy the tactile sensation of the body, lightness and corporeality that inhabit each figure. Imagine touching, let fill the silence of the face and of the poses, from the limbs that bend and stretch, is an invitation to a look full, the awareness of our impermanent and temporary nature that touches us with the fullness of which it is the bearer . (Giulia Berra)
The artist, born in Bari, Bologna by adoption, has built his artistic identity by seeking more and different techniques and materials. Whether wire, which is no trace of pencil or liquid color wake, the senses and the concepts are accomplished through its irrational reaction. Essentiality that lacks the "slight complexity" of his works.

The vernissage is scheduled for Saturday, March 18 starting at 18.00 hours.

The event will witness the action pictorial thread of Crasto, on tiptoe, which gives the title to his staff.

The exhibition will be open until April 9, every day by appointment, except Tuesday.
