Exhibitions, Italy, Seregno, 25 March 2006
The exhibition, organized by the Municipality of Seregno, by Dorian Cara, will exhibit 50 sculptures and collages from the artist Luca Crippa, important engraver, painter and stage designer Seregnesi. The works, made between 1938 and 1993 are significant and original time of each other surrealist artists in Italy.
The fantastic sculptures, made of wood, stone and iron, the result of assembling and found items left by the artist on the shores of Lake Como, together with the dreamlike collages tell the rich and versatile personality of the teacher who has brought about Seregno 3000 works, including more than 600 of its realization.
Through careful research and the dramatic rediscovery of several surrealist works of the Italian track, which in the late 30s walking alongside the Parisian surrealist revolution, in an era when the term fantastic in Italy is almost suffocated by abstract metaphysical and neorealism, in the exposition will be recalled the beginnings of spring and the evolutions of the "assemblage", the "robe Found", the "objet rêve and collages which have seen Cripps, indisputably, one of the first proponents of the language to surrealist ' inside of the panorama of Italian culture.
The exhibition investigates a timeline, through documents, photographs, collages and polychrome sculptures polimateriche, the evolution of artistic language of Luca Crippa, pointed out, with particular emphasis on imaginative charm breathable materials that have been forgotten or discarded by the world have regained form in themselves, reborn as a separate tangible and textured floating dreams.
For the first time will be on display - in an anthology and monographic vision - the works of the early production years spanning the Second World War, assemblies polimateriche end of the '70s - inizio'80, recent collages of the early '90s.
The intent of the initiative is to fully retrace the origins, evolution and outcomes of part of the master's artistic career (1922-2002), in confirmation of those passionate meditations and research across borders and plots of the imaginary which have seen protagonist sublime, especially in graphic production.
