Medial and conceptual nomad, as defined by the curator Lorenzo Madaro, Fernando De Filippi is a visionary artist who knew how to dress of allegories and metaphors not only social places like the Public Gardens in Martano in 1991, the Prison of Lecce in 1995, the Hall VIP of the New Theatre of Udine in 1997, the Palace of Justice in Palermo in 2001 among others, but also galleries and museums around the world: in 1972 the Gallery Wspolczesna in Warsaw, in Brussels Palais des Beaux Arts, and then in Paris, Geneva, New York, California and last year in China. In Galatina Thursday, August the 8th at 20, thanks to Art and Ars Gallery, Fernando de Filippi inaugurate his exhibition "The epiphany of fire and alchemical trees" and curated by Lorenzo Madaro at P.Art - Palace of Culture in via P. Cafaro 2.
After De Chirico’s in Otranto De Filippi’s exhibition is the most important of this summer in Salento and it will be a party to meet and celebrate the artist coming back to this territory after 40 years international artistic work. His personal and professional development has made him one of the most eminent figures of Italian and international art; he was director of the Art School and the Academy of Brera (MI) too. "The epiphany of fire and alchemical trees", dedicated to the worship of fire and trees, more precisely presents pencils on paper that have been displayed in an exhibition curated by Toti Carpentieri at Confindustria in Lecce, and works with fire, recently exposed in the Library of the Academy of Brera.
The event is part of Off Gallery Project, a series of exhibitions organized by Gigi Rigliaco’s Art and Ars Gallery.
The exhibition will be open to visitors until August 30 from 18 to 21, Sunday closed
