Press release

This exhibit, which deals with different themes, is an integral part of a project that spans several years, whose goal is to show the mutations contemporary art’s language has undergone.
Figurative art that has dominated two thousand years of history now moves side by side with interpretation, that is the prevalence of emotion over the representation of the object that generated it.
Evolution, which may appear very fast or even sudden, follows a logic and gradual progression; it grows and changes in an almost generational sequence, determining more and more spaces for new expressive languages.
Landscapes are the common denominator and key in this exhibition. The concept of metaphor includes and summarizes contents that are only apparently distant from one another but are actually based on the same theme.
From a defined perception of the image we shift to the poetic perception of nature, to the observation of the whole that focuses then on the detail as well as the matter; hints and suggestions that reach into feelings and into the concept of abstraction from reality. These works’ reflections give you the chance to see subjective testimonies of presence.
