Food is the central focus of Expo 2015. But can man live by bread alone? Feeding our physical bodies is not enough. We all have a second, spiritual body, which must be fed as well. Art is one such source of nutrition.
This first exhibition at the Castellano gallery introduces a series of five events which will take place between May and October. Its purpose is to prompt a reflection on the question “can man live by bread alone?”
Feeding our physical bodies is not enough. We all have a second, spiritual body, which must be fed as well. Figurative art is one such source of nutrition.
These first thirteen artists on show articulate a surprising journey into the human soul. By baring their own thoughts, they also anticipate and condense the thoughts of all mankind. Many will certainly identify with their dreams, their fears and desires, or even with their focused attention on nature and human behaviour.
Grazia Azzali (Padua, 1961) painter, photographer and sculptor. Grazia molds physical matter to create heads with enormous blabbering mouths. Hers is a critique on contemporary society, whose dearth of values underscores a deformed, nonsensical reality.
Matteo Boato (Trento, 1971), painter and musician. For Matteo, every musical note is linked to a specific colour. In his personal dictionary, C is yellow, D is green, E is blue, F is indigo, G is purple, A is red and B is orange. White and black are used to indicate rests. The artist’s painted work thus comes to life as a musical narrative.
Luigi Carletto (Nove, Vicenza, 1946), ceramist. Luigi molds semi-refractory clay to make it look as if it were made of the same matter as him. He does not consciously investigate the relationship between man and nature, history and time, because for him they are one and the same.
Valter Caon (Castelfranco Veneto - Treviso, 1956) painter, musician and writer. Valter investigates man and his habitat. He employs a magnetic support studded with iron cut-outs. By shifting the cut-outs, spectators become artists themselves.
Isabel Carafi (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1954, lives in Trieste), painter and sculptor. Her human/object/architectonical hybrids form twisted shapes, chained to each other in a kind of South-American dance. Her works emanate a strong erotic impulse infused with captivating irony.
Fabiano Fiorin (Lido di Venezia, 1964), painter, illustrator, visual artist, creative artist. His source of inspiration is tied to the female world. By observing the women he meets on the streets or on the ferry, he scrutinizes himself in search of his own identity.
Silvano Longo (Palermo, 1953, lives in Padua), photographer. His photos reflect a personal research which strives towards a harmony with nature based on knowledge and awareness.
Aldo Pallaro (Piombino Dese - Padua, 1952), wood carver. Aldo dissects wood because trees can converse with us, telling us stories not unlike our own, stories of wood knots, of good and bad years, which are inscribed in the patterns of their growth rings.
Mario Tavernaro (Asolo, 1962, lives in Caerano San Marco – Treviso), painter and sculptor.
Deformed visages, introspective self-portraits of the existence that is and will be. Mario’s aim is to paint or sculpt visages which have no eyes, noses or mouths, but which carry within themselves and impart to others the wisdom of their past.
Mirco Bardi (Treviso 1970, lives and works in Istrana), painter and sculptor. Mirco is an aesthete who seeks beauty and does not impose humanist meanings on his works. The end result should convey a sense of cleanliness, aesthetic order and, thus, mental discipline.
Igor Compagno (Mestre, 1973, lives in Mira – Venice), painter and sculptor. Igor embeds old nails into canvasses, tables, various kinds of wood and hats, and blends them with tactile paint. He seeks to freeze moments in time, for he does not wish for time to pass in silence, anonymous and unremarked.
Giacomo Filippin (Brescia, 1965), sculptor. Giacomo seeks lightness in iron. He employs plasma to dissect iron sheets and makes them vibrate as if he were applying paper origami techniques.
Maria Carla Prevedello (Crespano del Grappa - Treviso, 1955), painter.
Sgarbi once referred to her as “she who looks at gold and sees the sky”. Maria Carla continues her love-inspired, poetry-infused research. She sublimates reality in order to touch a spiritual state which goes beyond human.
