Vibrazione del Colore
Cortesi Gallery presents a new exhibition dedicated to colour, retracing different historical moments and highlighting the importance of colour, which has been and still represents a fundamental element for the art world through various techniques and uses.
Vibrazione del Colore (Colour Vibration) presents a path that unravels between the characteristic chessboard paintings of Victor Vasarely, crossing the dense textures of the master of the post-war abstraction Piero Dorazio up to the monumental Chromatische Konstellation of the German artist Heinz Mack, whose paintings are made of pure colours free from any natural or descriptive element. The exhibition then moves to contemporary art by displaying works by the artist Kerstin Brätsch with her strong gestures and research on alternative materials that intertwine with the new series of works by Maurizio Donzelli Reds, whose superimposed signs create great movement and depth. The exhibition also presents another work by Donzelli, whose artistic research has always been interested in the study of reflective surfaces, producing Luxdrawing, a perfect union between the more pictorial and emotional part of the flat surface which, however, allows the viewer and the space surrounding, thanks to its reflective property, to become part of the work itself. Lastly, also linked to the theme of mirroring, a diptych by Jacob Kassay: two silver canvases presented as a reflective field interact with each other, with the surrounding space and the viewer. His works, made by electroplating the surface of the canvas, thus bringing the work closer to the primordial process of photography.
