Curated by Aldo Premoli
Art as a dynamic entity made up of abstract collocations, imagination and utopia can oppose the period we are experiencing and help all of us to feel less the weight of events this last year. Since the beginning of the pandemic Lo Magno Artecontemporanea has not stopped: respecting the scheduled appointments, modulating them and looking for new opportunities. The Showcase Exhibition 2 project curated by Aldo Premoli, which opens on January 1 24, 2021, arises precisely from the need to rediscover, through creative work, a little harmony in the great chaos that has accompanied us in this period. It is a group show that includes a virtual presentation and continues with private appointments in the gallery. There are 11 artists who bring the project to life. They are: Francesco Balsamo, Sandro Bracchitta, Davide Bramante, Anna Capolupo, Andrea Cerruto, Giuseppe Colombo, Emanuele Giuffrida, La Vaccara, Lauretta Francesco, Giovanni Robustelli, Ignazio Schifano, Rossana Taormina. In addition to the presence of works that is a tribute to the late Piero Guccione.
“The artists who line up here are very different from each other, capable of equally different techniques. But one element unites all of them: better still, a predisposition of mind. While "outside" each of them - like all of us - suffered the black shadow of the cursed virus, "inside", in the studio, no one has ever stopped working, thinking and designing. And he did so with a concentration even higher than in the past, recovering for his works the time that arose precisely from the practices hindered by the lockdown"is how Aldo Premoli expresses the sound message constructed for the presentation What emerges from the works of our artists is clearly recognizable as a message of strength addressed to all of us. The aesthetic and conceptual investigation present in their works reflects the scrutinizing movements of the interiority of each of those present on the stage or the shelter of the global epidemic. And an absolute need to go further, to get out of it soon and at any cost
