NATURAE | OTTORINO DE LUCCHI-MARIKA VICARI

punto06.2020

De Lucchi and Vicari’s works, created for the exhibition, create a sophisticated dialogue in which analogies and differences intertwine, overlap, distinguish and underline each other.

Elegant work and impeccable in its realisation in which the sculpture’s material par excellence becomes symbolic of the fluid society that distinguishes us.

Between Alice in Wonderland and Rilke and Picasso’s Acrobats, Claudia Giraudo undertakes refined pictorial research that is only apparently simple and immediate in its aesthetic references, from 20th century surrealism to pop, but that reveals, at a closer look, a series of references and suggestions that generate the restlessness of childhood on the edge of adolescence in the spectator.… Read more

For Marcello Morandini – artist, architect, designer – form is a territory without secrets.
