Certi giorni in Langa The exhibition by Luigi Carbone

There are artists who do not simply represent a place: they inhabit it, listen to it and transform it into a personal language.

Luigi Carbone belongs to this category: his works are born from a continuous dialogue with Langhe, from an intimate relationship with the hills that saw him grow up and that still feed his imagination today.

In Carbone’s paintings, Langa is never a simple backdrop. It is a living presence, changing, capable of surprising.

On April 10 at 4:30 PM, an exhibition dedicated to his work opens and will be on view until April 27, 2026, a journey through landscapes, emotions and memories, offering visitors the vision of an artist who has made his land an inexhaustible source of poetry.

The works: Langa as a place of the soul

In Carbone’s paintings, Langa is never a simple backdrop. It is a living presence, changing, capable of surprising.

His hills become traveling companions, welcoming islands where being shipwrecked does not mean getting lost, but rediscovering a sense of belonging.

The fog that creeps between the rows of vines, the moon that dances like a kite in the blue sky, the lights that soften the profiles of the hills: everything contributes to creating a suspended atmosphere, in which reality intertwines with vision.

Carbone says he almost always starts from reality, from what he sees every day, but then lets imagination transform the landscape into something more personal.

This is how the moon can become a hot air balloon, or how light figures can appear in the sky. The colors chase each other as if they had a life of their own, drawing closer and moving apart with the naturalness of those holding hands.

The geometries, sometimes whimsical, are never formal exercises, but openings toward an imagination that invites dreaming.

Langa, in his works, “is”: a simple and definitive statement, encompassing identity, belonging and a deep sense of continuity.

Langa, in his canvases, is not described, it is evoked, and Carbone interprets it with the sweetness of lights and chromatic harmonies, transforming it into a landscape that reconciles, that seduces, that invites contemplation. A simple and definitive statement, encompassing identity, belonging and a deep sense of continuity.

The exhibition title: a message of hope

Certi giorni in Langa is also the title of a book written by Carbone together with photographer Malvina Manera.

The meaning is simple and profound: there are days when life weighs heavy, but Langa — with its beauty, its quiet, its light — helps to regain balance and hope.

The exhibition aims to convey precisely this: the idea that art can offer comfort, that a landscape can become a foothold, that a color can open a glimmer of serenity.

An invitation to contemplation

Visiting the exhibition means entering a suspended world, where the hills become dream, memory and refuge.

His works do not simply represent a landscape: they transform it into an emotional experience, into a story that belongs to the viewer.

It is a precious opportunity to encounter one of the artists who has best been able to interpret the deep soul of the territory, rendering it through a style that has the light step of dreams and the strength of colors that are not forgotten.
