The exposition, curated by art historian Dr. Liletta Fornasari, will host a selection of works painted in oil on canvas, the most part being displayed for the first time ever in Arezzo.
The curator explains:
“Roberto Meschini has reached a very particular moment in his intense artistic practice and without a doubt today he merits to be documented in a solo exhibition by the title Allegory against the current, indicating in such a manner the two aspects of his art, the moral content, adopted from ancient concepts, and the contemporary state and elaborated style at the base of a long experience and also based on the desire to individualize a language capable of respecting the objective truth, but simultaneously to express the synthesis of precise emotions.” ¹

Saturday, April 25, at 12PM, there will be a press preview with the author and the curator, who will be interviewed by journalist Fabrizio Borghini for the transmission Incontri con l’Arte (Encounters with Art) of Toscana TV.

Brief biography of the artist:
Roberto Meschini was born August 7, 1943, in Laterina (AR), and lives in Arezzo.
Along with his father Aldo, carpenter, he began in early on creating handcrafted works of art in wood and sculpture in clay.
The meeting and frequenting of important masters has contributed to his artistic growth throughout the years.
An extremely sensitive nature-lover, with which he feels in symbiosis, poet of color, Meschini engaged art with love and dedication, extending from landscape to portrait, from printmaking, plate engraving and lithography, to sculpture. He began exhibiting in 1969 and since then he has participated in many solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and participated in prestigious competitions of painting, classifying always amongst the first places.
One of his works figuring Pope Giovanni Paolo II° is situated in the interior of the Cathedral of Arezzo. Other works of religous theme may be found in the Aretine churches of Saione, Ponticino, Santa Maria in Valle in Laterina and Sassaia of Rigutino. His paintings are in private Italian and foreign collections.
Meschini works in his studios at Largo 2 Giugno 26/27, in Arezzo and at Via Berni 46, in Bibbiena, where he permanently exhibits his works.
