This solo show brings together 26 works by Ilaria Caputo, whose constant peculiarity lies in a continuous attempt to unite tradition with innovation. In fact, her creations are equally classically inspired and structurally hybrid, as a result of the combination of different materials and media. Sometimes, for example, the monochrome terracotta is shaped, distorted and enriched with the addition of oil painting and/or drawing. This results in a production in which is difficult to refer to each individual work using traditional terms such as “painting” or “sculpture”. Along with these “paint-sculptures”, more traditional oil paintings on wood are also on display.
By describing a flower’s evanescent beauty or capturing a moment of an ever-changing story, these works focus on two themes particularly dear to this Artist, namely Classical Archetypes, that are re-interpreted through the Myth; and Nature, which is either described through landscapes or vividly sketched through a few outstanding features. All these artworks show a great attention to details as well as clean shapes, which are characteristic of Ilaria Caputo’s style.
The exhibition will run until Sunday, November 2nd, 2014
Hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 10.00 to 13.00 and from 16.00 to 19.00
