Verified profile

Four contemporary artists confront each other on the theme of the disappearance/reappearance of the object and the crossing of surfaces. The historical moment in which we live, characterized by liquidity and virtuality, has caused what tradition had handed down to us as universal and intact to decline, inaugurating an era of dispersion and contradiction, of fragmentation and relativity, while at the same time founding new points of view and opening up to new ways of relating to and reading the world. The artists in the exhibition start from this horizon, orphaned of totality and chaotically precarious, to try to establish new configurations, new footholds, and possible perspectives. Their works, despite the diversity of poetics, represent a reaction and an attempt to give meaning to an incorporeal reality. Vincent Beaurin (Charleville Mézières, 1960) has developed a family of lumpy and shining surfaces, pure and stylized forms, which recall syntheses of animals, geometric figures, or polished cocoons that seem to levitate in the air, towards new spatio-temporal coordinates. Oren Pinhassi (Tel Aviv, 1985) creates suggestive and mysterious forms in which heterogeneous materials such as glass, steel, plaster, jute, and sand coexist. The structures, which often ironically allude to architecture and common use objects, merge organic and inorganic into new aggregates and configurations of meaning. Felix Schramm (Hamburg, 1970) stages catastrophes that break through surfaces to discover their internal connections; his is not a furious or devastating act, but corresponds to a constructive mode, albeit in a negative key, alternating the poetics of the fragment with the integrity of the full. Marco Tirelli (Rome, 1956) plays with making objects appear and disappear on the canvas, almost catching them at the precise moment of their transition into the invisible and treating light as a presence that dissolves into shadow. His painting shows the threshold on which elementary forms dematerialize in the play of light and shadow, losing substance in favor of nocturnal and silent atmospheres.
