View details about the event: Variations on the QuartetA solo exhibition of Italian Artist Geppy Pisanelli entitled Passage. The artist will present three large oil paintings made between 2011- 2013, a new set of oil paintings from the Clouds series, and for the first time, a series of pastels on paper.
The title of the exhibition, Passage, reflects a fundamental conceptual point in Pisanelli’s art. Always present in his work, this “passage” reflects a transition from an image belonging to a sensible world to a conceptual dimension, from a tangible image to a transcendent one. For the artist, painted images are a pretext for communicating something else and are the starting point, a “passage,” to guide the spectator in another direction.
