CONTEMPORARY PRESENCES
Exhibitions, Italy, Caserta , Parete, 14 April 2019
Contemporary art must no longer be conceptually trivialized or reduced to passatist provocations, but it needs to find a thought, a new and objective aesthetic, to search for the golden section even in non-figurative volumes, reaching out towards an elegance suggested by the rhythm of shapes, from the right combination of colors and experimenting, perhaps, with innovative materials.

It is no coincidence that in the most important collections the absolute definition of every detail of the work of art and its usability is sought to make it dialogue with diversified environments, whether they be contemporary-style architectures or buildings of historical-monumental value. The exhibition itinerary will follow these indications also because they bring the artists closer to collecting in a concrete way.

From these key concepts comes Presenze Contemporanee, an exhibition open to those seeking perfection in every artistic element, both figurative and informal. The Presenze Contemporanee exhibition will be held in the halls of the noble floor of the Palazzo Ducale di Parete (Caserta), which will become the place and space to present a cross-section of the last twenty years of Italian artistic research. The selected artists test themselves with projects that are measured with today's themes: 'Man and Nature', and again, the individual and life, the search for balance and light, are some reflections faced by the artists present, Riccardo Furini and Vittorio Colamussi (TURN project), Giuliana Silvestrini, Francesco Nicolato, Stefano Accorsi, Andrea Boldrini, Fabrizio Mazzardo, Raffaele Bormio.
Do not miss the pure reflection and aesthetic research of a more figurative and pop flavor with Chiara Anaclio, Vittoria Rutigliano, Erica Appiani and Diego Valentinuzzi, Veronica Francione.

Riccardo Furini and Vittorio Colamussi. The Turn project was born from an idea of ​​two artists, respectively painter and photographer, to investigate the link between their works. In addition to a reciprocal exchange, they confront each other on the theme of Man and Nature, in a mutual need to reconcile with the environment: change vision to get closer to the essence of the Man / Nature relationship, a relationship increasingly worn down by a life that artificially it gets away from us, to find a balance outside and inside ourselves.

Andrea Boldrini presents works that are 'Places', where we can find a landscape of dissolved dust and spaces of dark colors and chromatic ascents. Even for him the landscape or "space" of nature is found among vibrant lights and lands, between instants and sensations, in an infinite continuation that leaves only a draft, at times, of figuration, favoring the emotional moment of color.

For Giuliana Silvestrini the use of images by fragments and the process of sedimentation of materials / color represents the cornerstone of her research, which is divided between painting, photography, video and installations. The immediacy of the sign is the founding character of his artistic process: energy, movement, color and strength of the pictorial gesture tend to an ideal balance. A vision that is both cosmic and earthly, letting oneself go inside: an inner chaos and disorder, to give oneself the opportunity for inner growth, entering into a relationship with pain, separation, and fall.
Stefano Accorsi. Light is the essence and the material of which Stefano Accorsi's works are composed. Pure light. Light that radiates from the color. A vibrant light that emanates from the center of the picture and expands over the entire pictorial surface. Thick brushstrokes wisely modulated, which vibrate, flake off, thicken and then expand into a newfound peace, between suspended moments, concentration and meditation, up to the total cathartic release.

Francesco Nicolato presents a selection of works taken from the poetic ‘Margini’. Margini is intended by the artist, as a perception of the limit of things, as the end of one thing and the beginning of another. Limit as posting but also as a connection hinge where, despite appearances, everything is tied. Everything is a communion between earth and heaven, between nature and the individual. The black and white drawings are a metaphor of night and day, like Yin and Yang, as different images of the same body, like opposite poles that attract each other. Trees in black stand out against the sky without color, or black constructions face the deafening white. His research aims to seek the interaction between different, often opposing forces: an eternal endless struggle between darkness and light, aimed at seeking the most intimate meaning of existence.

Fabrizio Mazzardo presents the photographs taken from the reportage of the Shakespearean theater tour. Inspired by the Maestro Carlo Rovelli; tour that offers the way to reflect and to read the theatrical representation as an introspective medium. The works become reworkings of an unconscious and unexpected dialogue with himself. The result is photographs often in black and white, which refer to an emotional state, and a slow and incessant movement given by protracted overexposure.

Raffaele Boemio. In 1978 he founded the "X / Arte Group" with Haebel and Domenico Natale, adhering to the Movement of aesthetic operators in the social sphere. Painting was and is the prevailing language in which his creativity is manifested, without however closing other semantic and expressive abilities, to other artistic techniques, extending his research to iron, wood and digital processing of photography.

Chiara Anaclio presents the Détails project. The project was born in 2015 as an aesthetic reflection. Through details taken from works with female protagonists of Flemish and Renaissance painting, an artistic production of investigation into the particular is born. Emphasizing new meanings, inaccuracies and new hypotheses of content with color throws, opening up to an artistic meta-story. The research is composed of works in which the pictorial interventions on print mix up the rules and colors of the masterpieces of classical art. The result is a game of mirrors between evocative references, patinas of the past and suggestions from the future.
Vittoria Rutigliano, after scenography at the Academy, deepens the engraving graphics and graduates in 2009 with a thesis that studies the artistic influences of Futurism, especially in fashion and clothing.
All these experiences and experiments lead her to acquire great maturity in the use of collage and other elements and supports. The balance of the compositions derives from the original and distinctive traits of his collages. In addition, he intervenes to reinforce the often “scratched” trait of his works on canvas with the artist's innate ability to construct images with images. Technical experience and artistic maturity have allowed her to confront herself, with ease, even in areas that are usually distant from collage, such as the sacred theme or commissioned portraiture.

Diego Valentinuzzi. All the pictorial production of Valentinuzzi represents a visionary reflection in proceeding through symbols and allusions, where his works can be defined as a stage for meditation: they are moments that arise from the experience of the lived or the imaginary, therefore a rediscovered serene comedy of the unconscious. The fusion between reality and the dream is also expressed in the free combination of different materials, which reproduce dreamlike contents and unconscious visions. Symbolic figures, combined with pop and optical suggestions, complete the sources of inspiration by increasing the allusive effect, the idea of ​​the past that joins the present in a single temporal dimension, where everything becomes above all a key to investigation.

Erica Appiani. His artistic research stems from the need to ennoble everyday subjects and elements that are often forgotten and neglected, in an art based on innocent, romantic realism, which often decontextualizes to reach a renewed aesthetic language.

Veronica Francione. His interest is aimed at being: he observes the looks, the expressions, the facial expression that often subtends to unexpressed and latent emotions. Analyze joy or pain. The red signs are to be considered as his 'signature' which manifests itself in the quest to interpret the soul of the subject. They are "inner" Portraits characterized by signs such as cuts, to manifest what is intangible, as if to break the aesthetic balance.
