Davide Bramante: Unpublished and ideals
Galleria Anna Marra is pleased to present in its exhibition spaces its second exhibition of the works of Davide Bramante.
Four years after the first exhibition, the self-explanatory title of Unpublished and Ideals introduces the concepts at the base of this project the and the artist鈥檚 intentions, new works, the fruit of recent and refined research. Twenty works are exhibited, including pictures realised ad hoc for the exhibition and others from his archives as well as small sculptures that point toward a convergence of images and three dimensionality.
Aside from photographs portraying the world鈥檚 metropolises done with analogic equipment and multiple exposures 鈥 a procedure that has characterised Davide Bramante鈥檚 work for more than 20 years 鈥 the exhibition also contains a series of works that represent a recent development in the artist鈥檚 experimenting.
The 鈥淯npublished鈥 are those created by the artist using his normal technique, the result of several photographs 鈥 from four to nine 鈥 on the same photographic frame. 鈥淯npublished鈥 are also the multiple pictures that overlap, that create the palimpsest of views, moments and stories Bramante has lived and wishes to recount. Whether colour or black and white, from Rome to New York, the cities narrate the artist鈥檚 desire to show us the infinite fragments of beauty and harmony they possess.
The 鈥淚deals鈥 are instead the cities on which Davide Bramante has worked innovatively, creating a true photographic collage on which he then, using a gesture that becomes action, he intervenes pictorially. With overlappings and multiple stratifications, Bramante makes leaves the cites in his works 鈥渦nfinished鈥 knowing they can enrich themselves with new stories. As Bramante himself has said, 鈥渢hey might be works which are never completed, as they continually offer new insights and reflections鈥 A sort Tower of Babel that develops in height toward the sky鈥.
