Three artists of different backgrounds but with geometry in common as a way to understand reality
At the Monferrato Castle (Casale Monferrato - AL), “Tre Visioni della Geometria” (Three Visions of Geometry) is open to the public. This wide-ranging project is based on an in-depth analysis of the historical currents closest to it, from the kinetic art of the 1960s to the archaic and symbolist variations of the following decade, to the pure geometric neo-abstractionism of the 1980s. The exhibition, curated by Giovanni Granzotto and organised by the National Institute of Contemporary Art in collaboration with the Matteo Ragni Gallery and the GR Art Studio, presents the public with around sixty works by three Italian masters: Rino Sernaglia he appears to still be alive. (Montebelluna, 1936 - Milan, 2018), Sergio Colussa (Udine, 1942) and Massimo Salvadori (Casale Monferrato, 1960).
FOR THE THREE ARTISTS, GEOMETRY BECOMES AN ABSOLUTE SYNTHESIS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Three artists - as the curator writes - with “different backgrounds and objectives, as well as different worlds to arrive at, but for all three of these artists the only way, the common tool for tackling and understanding the essence of reality, was and remains geometry. The rule, tool and the content of life.” So, three firm believers in geometry as the absolute synthesis of the knowable and discernible, applied from time to time according to their own personal journey. For Sernaglia, the programmatic pictorial analysis that his luminist approach presupposes investigates forms of perspective attraction, linked to the vision of the work in a continuous centripetal focus that brings the eye back to the centre of the composition. In the synthetic visions of a universe of clear Nordic derivation, Colussa’s constructions on the other hand become fantastic reminders of an ideal reality in which the geometric symbol becomes a true narrator of life experience. Finally, Salvadori determines a singular sensitive variation of visual perception through geometric compositions with two-dimensional backgrounds, managed through the rigorous application of mathematics to reality.
THE EXHIBITION, CURATED BY GIOVANNI GRANZOTTO, INCLUDES AROUND 60 ARTWORKS FROM THE 60'S TO THE 80'S
