Paolo Quaresima | Passaggi / Passanti


punto

Thanks to his delicate and precise brush, Paolo Quaresima turns everyday objects into silent witnesses of an intense and laborious living, as if they were portraits of their users. Pitchers, teapots, buckets, watering cans or ancient polished jugs consumed by time become the storytellers of a whispered tale which speaks about us.… Read more

Paola Ravasio | Forma Mentis

punto

Il nuovo anno della galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE si apre all’insegna delle grandi mostre, con un calendario ricco, composto quasi esclusivamente di personali e dedicato tutto a nomi oramai affermati. Si comincia dunque SABATO 14 GENNAIO con la personale FORMA MENTIS di PAOLA RAVASIO, artista del territorio ma dal respiro internazionale, seguita dalla galleria fin dalla sua apertura, cinque anni fa. Le sue… Read more

CONFRONTI

punto

Due sguardi diversi e paralleli sulla natura morta da parte di due artisti che hanno condiviso un pezzo di strada (EMANUELE DASCANIO è stato per un certo periodo a bottega da GIANLUCA CORONA) e che in questa mostra si dividono lo spazio affidandosi uno, Corona, al colore dell’olio e l’altro, Dascanio, al gioco chiaroscurale della matita e del carboncino.… Read more

5 Years | Classico Contemporaneo

punto

The PUNTO SULL’ARTE gallery is five years old. And it celebrates them Saturday, November 19, from 6 to 9 pm, inaugurating exactly five years after its first show – it was November 19, 2011 – an exhibition that tells its story. Not just a collective gathering of the artists who grew up together with the gallery in this period and which the… Read more

DAIMON

punto

Il tema è quello del destino, raffigurato nell’incontro tra la persona e il suo daimon, l’animale simbolo guida dell’anima. Ecco allora CLAUDIA GIRAUDO, con i sui oli su tela profondi e senza tempo, dove figure leggiadre che incarnano la giovinezza incontrano farfalle, lepri, camaleonti, rospi smeraldini e germani reali, intrattenendo con loro dialoghi silenziosi sul futuro. Ecco MATTHIAS VERGINER: nelle sue sculture… Read more

MARIO BRANCA | UNDERWATER

punto

Dopo aver presentato – poco più di due anni fa – le sue opere ispirate al mondo vegetale, Mario Branca propone ora un ciclo di sculture legate all’ambiente sottomarino. Una decina di sue opere raffiguranti pesci pappagallo, pesci scatola, pesci scorpione e pesci palla, insieme a grandi gorgonie, andranno ad occupare lo spazio di una delle sale della galleria per ricreare un… Read more

The inauguration of the exhibition will be held on Thursday 9 June from 6 to 9 pm at the PUNTO SULL’ARTE Gallery in Varese. The artists received from… Read more

APNEA

punto

Born along with a contemporary combined exhibition by the two artists – held in Biella, at Palazzo Ferrero – this project refers to our relationship to animals. These paintings are not so different to those of human beings since they represent our fears, anxieties and phobias. This comes out well in the works of the two artists even if portrayed in different… Read more

We can see the wind | Federico Infante

punto

Just back from the great success obtained in New York, after a solo show in one of the most dynamic galleries in Chelsea, FEDERICO INFANTE is now going to expose in Varese about twenty, even of huge dimensions, of his canvases.… Read more

LANDSKIP

punto

While the world is facing a turning point and the main question addresses in extremis the protection of the environment, while scientists describe apocalyptic scenarios of what could happen if the thermal state increased of two degrees, two artists describe their idea of landscape. Signed by JERNEJ FORBICI and MARIKA VICARI, LANDSKIP is more than a double solo exhibition by two artists… Read more

DE LUCCHI / DE LUCCHI

punto

Since MICHELE DE LUCCHI – the architect of Expo and Gae Aulenti Square, in Milan – shows his more free and wilder artistic side, through the little handmade creations realized in his atelier in Angera, OTTORINO DE LUCCHI, the painter, has to bring order back, through his collection of elegant still lives, characterized by slight metaphysical suggestions and realized through the particular… Read more

MATERICO

punto

Material is the focus of the triple solo show which, on Saturday 3 October, is going to open the new season of the Punto sull’Arte Gallery. The dense, scratched and dripping painting substance of the urban views by DANIELE CESTARI, the thick colour used by TOMÀS MARTÍNEZ SUÑOL to recall his own roots, and the rough and spare terracotta which actualizes the… Read more

FLASHBACK | MARICA FASOLI

punto

Which details compose our memories? Sometimes a particular scent or sound, but most times they lie within an image. For example, if we focus upon our experience at the nursery school, we would probably recall a glimpse of the classroom, the windows which overlooked the garden, two classmates wrapped up in oversize smocks drawing or playing with clay and the blurry face… Read more

Sussurri | Ilaria Del Monte | Jill Höjeberg | Tina Sgrò

punto

Dealing with women’s art inevitably produces a stalemate within the discussion. The definition itself carries a series of traps among which the most relevant one is that nobody would ever talk about men’s art. Nonetheless women’s art is a plant which should be both studied and cultivated. The belief that men and women artists work in equality is a huge mistake. Women… Read more

THINK THIN | ALEX PINNA

punto

His typical aerial and light figures, made in bronze, rope and glass will take possession of the whole Gallery. Pinna’s characters, characterized by thin bodies and long legs, certainly derive from Giacometti’s poetics, though unburdened from their gloomy gravitas and gifted with a melancholy smile and a naïve and disenchanted glance upon reality.… Read more

Ritmi e Toni | Jürgen Durner | Giorgio Tonelli | Marcello Corrà


punto

Urban landscape is one of the most loved subjects by artists and, from impressionists on, it faced an evolution which turned it into the most reliable genre to depict the changes of our society. From the horse races in frenetic and libertine Paris during the end of the 19th century, described by Degas or Manet, to the glimpses of Occitan towns, reworked… Read more

AttrAction | Andrea Mariconti | Harding Meyer | Matteo Pugliese

punto

For this occasion three artists, recognized both at a national and international level, will exhibit their works: MATTEO PUGLIESE, ANDREA MARICONTI e HARDING MEYER”. The exhibition focuses upon the attractive power which can be revealed by bodies and glances. The three chosen artists describe mankind through different languages, though using the same expressive power. The bodies by MATTEO PUGLIESE (Milan, 1969), who… Read more

<20 15×15/20×20 | COLLEZIONE PUNTO SULL’ARTE 2014

punto

They have received from our gallery square format canvases -15×15 / 20×20 cm – on which they could freely express themselves without themes and without technical constraints. The Artists had to prove themselves on such a small format, apparently with little complexity, but that in some cases has created several challenges considering that not all of them has the habit of working… Read more

Respect | Garel | Cuoghi | Buratti | Caccia | Zanin

punto

Being at the beginning of the third millennium, we should reconsider our relationship with animals. An opportunity could be the discovery (even if the collection exists and has been open to public for 4 years, it still seems like the finding of an artifact) of a legacy of stuffed animals. The first sensation felt in front of this kind of objects –… Read more

Assenza Essenza

punto

During the last part of this millennium, Art has deeply demonstrated his ability of deploying itself into different voices: form neopop to neosurrealism, passing through the last edges of a rediscovered figurativism, up to cultured quotations and the first wailings of abstract art. Among these voices, there is a cross group of artists who have chosen to express by subtracting. We are… Read more

Caos e Bellezza | Mario Branca | Matthias Brandes | Arcangelo Ciaurro

punto

According to Greek mythology, Chaos was a primordial entity, a huge and undefined nothing, an abyss. A void from which all divinities were born to give life to the world. Only through Plato, Chaos began to be intended as a messy mixture, the “refuge of original unformed matter” from which – thanks to a ruling principle – the world (cosmos) was created… Read more

InCorpore(o) | Davide Balossi | Paul Kaminski | Alberto Magnani

punto

A triple solo exhibition which can be read as a long trip around mankind. Three different artists with distinct languages and personalities -apparently antithetical- become the three telling voices of the same fascinating story. Since man is definitely a tridimensional figure, it is flesh and bones. However, there is more. He is also formed by the volatile and fleeting products of his… Read more

[NEW] LIFE | Jernej Forbici | Andrea Mariconti | Paola Ravasio

punto

Within common language, there are terms which gain different meanings according to the moment they refer to. For example, if we talk about Renaissance, going back to the sixth century and even to the fifth one –using the capital letter, as the Sabatini Coletti recommends- we allude to the important period of our artistic, literary and philosophic history, characterized by the resumption… Read more

LucEnergia-punto-sull-arte-contemporary-art-gallery
Light has always represented divine, spiritual, incorporeal. Constantly in contrast to shadow, aimed at giving volume to matter. Above all expression of the original Energy. A subject which has always fascinated artists, from the Byzantine, to Impressionist passing for Caravaggio. It is perfectly described by the works by Maria Teresa Gonzalez Ramirez (a Mexican sculptress who lives and works in Varese), Tomàs… Read more

RI-FLESSO URBANO | Angelo Accardi | Pietro Scampini

punto

The CITY, ultimate expression of the endless contrast between progress and barbarization, is RE-FLECTED within the works by many artists (among which )Wilfred LANG, Angelo ACCARDI and Pietro SCAMPINI) who, trough their representations, reach its inner tensions letting the individual’s residual values re-emerge.… Read more

SiO2 Mostra di pittura e scultura

punto

SiO2or silica is fundamental for the chemical interactions used for the creation of colored pigments, commonly employed in contemporary painting. Its interaction with sand and metals is essential to create glass, ceramic, alloy. A key factor for mutation and transformation, through which the four elements – Fire, Earth, Air, Water – mutually combine and change, deeply bound, but still maintaining distinct powers… Read more

M/ARBRES

punto

Paintings, photos and sculptures: black and white impressions marking the steps of a path which discovers the multiple choices through which Nature can reveal. Silent woods inhabited by an effluvium of whisperings; forests, cliffs and rocks altered by time and atmospheric agents which assume human forms; marbles apparently inanimate which come to life through the moulding. Artists: Marika Vicari, Alberto Bortoluzzi, Jill… Read more
