Contrasti
Exhibitions, Italy, Milano, 09 September 2014
Chie Art Gallery will present the works of six artists gathered in the exhibition "Contrasts". And the word contrasts do not intend to attribute the negative meaning of disagreements but on the contrary, to paraphrase the theory of colors, the greater emphasis on what colors and shapes can acquire if influenced by the proximity of the colors and shapes of the surrounding, and as our eyes and our sensitivity can perceive them.
Contrasts then as the exaltation of diversity: lights and shadows, chiaroscuro, the snow and the desert, the figure and the background, the serenity and anxiety, to try to understand the emotional tension that has guided the hand of our artists:
Dada Inverni collects the memory of trips and stays in faraway countries, and taking away all living presence presents them in their essence, expanses of snow or desert dunes fiery, almost dream-like memories abstract and yet real.
Silvano Crespi in his landscapes puts all the sparkling serenity of a vacation day stolen from daily stress, and the irrepressible joy of this freedom we read in the brush strokes that come out of the canvas frame to invade and take us away.
Mariella Langiu Autelitano alternates his personal interpretation of classical sculpture in pictorial key to portraits full of pathos, from which young faces launch a silent - but that makes it even more dramatically effective - request for help.
Marina Ferrari exhibited his delicate art installations, very close to the oriental style of Ikebana. Materials and subjects simple and natural, and for this rich meaning, that seem to breathe and life of its own.
Lucilla Restelli shows us his world abstract-informal, where the flashes of color, the findings of matter and vibrant touches leaf or gold dust seem to come alive and catch the eye, in a dance of energetic colors and exquisitely seductive.
Louis Magro is the founder of "Marmismo," a complex and patient work that starts with the search of the veins on the marble slabs, until to find the one that will give him an emotion and draw from that nature design a guideline to follow and pander to tell a story. The addition of color and, in more recent works, one in silver haze, transform a marble slab in a highly innovative work of art.
