This is the fifth and last exhibition sponsored by Expo Veneto 2015. The journey into contemporary art offered by the Castellano gallery ends with these eleven artists. A journey made of waiting and hope, searches and discoveries, mystery and fantasy. This exhibition strives to conceive reality as if it were made of multiple tassels which are all part of the same mosaic. In every tassel and in every artist there is an immense universe of fantasy and colour, to which each of them contributes. The exhibition seeks, in particular, to invite a personal reflection in its public based on one certainty: art can break any barrier or geographic border.
Monica Campanelli, Rome 1968. Painter and art critic. Monica’s painting explores the female world: women’s feelings, emotions, reactions, fears, joys and sufferings. She aims straight for body and mind.
Mario Carlin, Dolo 1977, lives in Mira. Sculptor. The artist underscores the contradictions inherent to mankind by working on iron, steel, lead and glass. He seeks to draw a connecting line between the thinking man and nature, a monarch which holds sway over all living beings.
Rox Piridda (Rossella Di Dio), Enna 1978, lives in Turin. Painter, photographer and musician. By photographing self-portraits the artists expresses the difficulties of relationships, which result in a profound existential suffering – a suffering which is trapped within, so that even screams are muffled, and cannot escape.
Alessia Francescato, Cittadella (Padua), lives in Piombino Dese (Padua). Painter and sculptor. Hers is a figurative art research wavering between matter and spirituality, visible and invisible. The most evident elements are ceaseless tension, sacrifice, beauty and provocation.
Alessia Gatti, Rovigo 1978, lives in Orzinuovi (Brescia). The artist takes letters and words from the crossword puzzles her mother used to solve, and she recovers, re-elaborates and reassembles them through careful, creative collage, endowing them with new meanings and new visions.
Andrea Mazzucato, Dolo (Venice) 1979, lives in Mira (Venice). Painter. Andrea employs photography and highly tactile painting to give shape to perspectives and surreal, dream-like flights. Thus deserted cities return to life, consumed by time and their own matter, lived in and then forgotten.
Roberto Marconato, Piombino Dese (Padua) 1953. His research has attained a personal blend of Trash Art and Dadaism (creative freedom in shapes and materials). His ideas are realised through compositions enclosed in iron cages which signify the historic period in which we live, in social, moral, cultural, ethical and religious terms.
Irma Paulon, Rovigo 1962, lives in Asolo (Treviso). Painting and installations. Through her glass, resin and Plexiglas installations Irma invites mindfulness and a receptive attitude towards the Other. For her, art is a universal language and goes beyond the cultural differences that hinder and divide, leading to misunderstandings and unhappiness.
Monika Pirone, Rome 1965. Scenic design, video art, painting. Monika tackles the theme of history and reminds us that only by knowing our roots we can look towards the future. Only by accepting the mistakes, faults and evolutions of our predecessors can we face what the future has in store for us.
Lisa Perini, Treviso 1973. Painting, sculpture and installations. Lisa’s world is simple yet complex, intimate yet open to the outside. She analyses reality and divests it of any hypocrisies in order to recreate it, breathing the rhythm of poetry into it. Lisa is concerned with preserving nature and believes in a better world.
Giuseppe Toscano, Sant’Anastasia (Naples) 1956, lives in Terracina (Latina). Painter and sculptor. Toscano focuses his artistic research on social issues, concentrating on the female figure. His art is populated by ethereal, impalpable presences, evanescent figures in whom one reads torments, grief, waiting and a thin thread of hope.
