Exhibitions, Italy, Napoli, 20 March 2018
On March 20th, at 6.00 pm, in the spaces of the Minimo Museum of Naples, the exhibition shows scratches intersecting, dedicated to the current expressive survey of Mariangela Calabrese. Ten serigraphic works selected from a much larger nucleus but offering an analytical and complete dimension of the recent narrative path proposed by the artist from Salerno.
Precious pictorial "fragments" that pour over the field very intense chromatic signals capable of representing a real writing of details that sinks its origin into themes of great poetic depth. The lyric of color as a symbol of the word and therefore of the story is consumed between tonal crossings, hidden transparencies and imaginary moorings. It is the journey. Endless and meditated by this artist.She writes about her Marcello Carlino, La Sapienza University of Rome ... Mariangela Calabrese thickens the reds and turns them over brown and mixes using green. However, air and water remain dominant; and everything is brought back to the blue and everything comes from the blue part to come back: a blue now stronger and dense, now diluted and bleached until the vanish: a blue anyway.

As if the poetry of color ("is the bridge color" suggests Marcello Carlino) devouring the "internal rivalries" of the form supporting a new and therefore unprecedented posture. It alone indicated the energy - and the glitter -, the breath, the substance. Here, we must pause on the chapters of the epilogue - or of the present - to define its weight and to scrutinize its passage. The most recent pictorial translation of Mariangela Calabrese is in the epiphanic conscience of color, in the unusual timbres, in the smoothness of the whites and the gold. The one that has redesigned the body and the face - the familiar courtyard, I would say - assuring however its essence. In the boarding of violet and cadmium, in the subtraction of blue ...
