The BAart space in Agliano Terme reopens its doors after the winter break and presents the first exhibition of the new season: Still Thinking by Asti artist Gabriele Sanzo scheduled from March 24 to May 3, 2024.
Visitors will be able to see a selection of canvases made with mixed media depicting human faces dissolving into abstract shapes and evoking mixed emotions.
This is how the artist describes the exhibition:
STILL THINKING is an exhibition, as the title states, that I have yet to think about.
A metacognitive process to which is added an unconscious question: does this exhibition really belong to me?
I wanted to bring a completely different sign and vision to what is my sensibility, accepting the challenge and its consequences.
Painting becomes a need and a narrative of wanting to get out of the box, a sense of alienation toward what is the everyday.
He continues with a reflection on the techniques and poetics of the exhibition:
Expressions bordering on the abstract, through large canvases of mixed media, as if to remind us that we are not the sum of the individual parts, but a much more generic and broader vision.
STILL THINKING is perhaps the bravest exhibition I have done in recent years, where the illustrator and surrealist Gabriele lets go of the turmoil and anguish of the moment, in a more intimate but fierce form.
A necessary exhibition, at least for me
