The show

Francavilla al Mare (Chieti), July 17, 2020 . The modification interventions on the objects that surround us by Francesco Alberico, the perception of alienating déjà-vu caused by the paintings of Thomas Braida, the visionary works of the duo Calori & Maillard, the abstract and sensitive forms that conceal an anthropomorphic dimension by Sara Enrico, the ex voto by Maurizio Finotto, the visual magma that escapes the predictable and the logic of Enej Gala, the material surfaces of Valerio Nicolai, the pleasant enchantment that springs from a more penetrating glance in the works of Serena Vestrucci.

Thirty artists as a whole have been selected for the 71st edition of the Michetti Prize and who from 18 July to 30 September 2020 exhibit their works in the exhibition L'aureola in cose: feeling the habitat, curated by Guido Molinari, hosted in the spaces of the Michetti Museum in Francavilla al Mare (Chieti) thanks to the commitment of the Michetti Foundation and the city of Francavilla.

The halo in things: feeling the habitat underlines how everything around us can be a point of contact with our inner dimension. The emotional intensity emanating from the objects, from their shape, is perceived by the artists as a sort of sacred aura to be reinterpreted through their works. Some objects are evocative because they are part of the experience, others are interesting for their shape or because, combined with others, they lead to a particular emotion. Finally, many become the very subject of the work and the perception of this halo of energy can only lead to different aesthetic results.
