Foriming

The project focuses on the work of six artists, emerging and established, who have set their entire path through a systematic research on the experimentation of materials and their epidermal ability to generate forms and meanings closely linked to their own genesis. From marble to pigment, from wood to aluminum, from iron to cardboard, from plastic to organic materials: the works on display offer an overview of juxtapositions and contrasts, in a constant dialectic between propulsive energy and the static condition of the generated shapes.

From installation to sculpture, from painting to drawing, the six artists protagonist of the show are displayed with paradigmatic works of their individual paths: this exhibition is also an opportunity to investigate unprecedetned combination, born out of affinity and intrinsic contradictions to their own works: Messina – Tondo; Fogliati – D’Acquisto; Viale – Fossati.

The monumental metal columns of Messina occupy the large entrance of the gallery, interacting with the primary forms of the works of Natalino Tondo: large papers linked to his research on galaxies. In between three-dimensionality and two-dimensionality, a complex of structures emerges, as awarness of their own nature. Then large “ecological” canvases and sculptures by Francesco Fossati; from the meditated planning of Piero Fogliati‘s drawings to his sculptures in which light and movement are integral parts of a radical thought of making sculpture through persistent fades. We then pass from the Strings and from the two-dimensional works of the Forming cycle by Daniele D’Acquisto – investigations on the relationship between objects and space, constant measurements around the roots of sculpture – to the germinal marbles of Fabio Viale.
