Robert Rauschenberg, Monogram
Have you ever wondered what happens when an artist is not content to paint on a canvas, but decides to take everyday objects and turn them into works of art? Robert Rauschenberg was the master of this revolution. With his hybrid works, somewhere between painting, sculpture and collage, he shook the foundations of modern art, proving that everything can become art if looked at with the right eyes.
Leo Castelli
Have you ever wondered who is behind the planetary success of artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein or Jasper Johns? The answer is a name that has become a legend in the contemporary art world: Leo Castelli.
If today Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptualism are recognised globally, it is largely thanks to him. Castelli was a gallery owner but also a true visionary, who turned art into a global phenomenon.
If there is one artist who knows how to shake the viewer of his works, it is Vittorio Valiante.
His visual language is made of raw material and painted flesh, of urban fragments transformed into metaphors of human existence. His new artistic research focuses on the body as a primary experience, as a bridge between reality and perception.
However, do not expect an idealisation of physicality. Here, the flesh is not a hymn to beauty, but a symbol of fragility, consumption and decay.
Marco De Sanctis Le Piangenti
Marco De Sanctis’ works are not only to be looked at: they are to be experienced, to be expected and, why not, to be interpreted as an alchemical ritual. ‘Le Piangenti’, in fact, is a tribute to the ancient figures of the prefiche, the women who wept at funerals to collectively represent mourning.
De Sanctis’ sculptures and works on paper dialogue with nature in a process that seems to challenge time and the very concept of art.
