Gesto, forma, colore

From 12 December to 16 January 2016 the Centro d'arte Malagnini, Via Giuseppe Verdi 20-22, hosts the group exhibition "Gesto, forma, colore" (Gesture, form, colour), curated by Bruno Bandini (opening Saturday 12 December, 6 pm). The exhibition shows works by Davide Baroggi, Alberto Bongini, Roberto Borra, Gianni Cella, Tommaso Chiappa, Dario Brevi, Salvatore Falci, Davide Ferro, Luigi Mastrangelo, Olinsky, Gianni Pedullà, Lele Picà, Mauro Rea, Massimo Romani, Leonardo Santoli and Gianfranco Sergio.

The common thread linking the works, as the art critic Bruno Bandini writes in the exhibition text, is "the complex relationships between technique, talent and deception". Gesture (or mark), colour and form are the tools through which artists express themselves and master that complexity. In an age when people talk about the death of art, the expressive mastery of those tools through intellect and skill, and the seductive power of beauty, as in the mythological triad Prometheus - Epimetheus - Pandora, allow artists to stress forcefully their ability "to explore its creative folds, its free zones", "to glimpse escape routes, new freedoms", "to have answers before the questions have been fully asked".

The exhibition, already shown with success last October at the Galleria Sorrenti in Novara and scheduled for January at the Galleria Spazio Vibò in Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza), is open until 16 January, Monday to Saturday from 4 pm to 7:30 pm, Sundays by appointment. It is organised with the support of the Collegio Universitario Lorenzo Valla of Pavia and Gruppo HBB Srl of Rovellasca (Como). (from the PRESS RELEASE)
