Franco Nicolosi/Sculpture is an immaterial body

Riflessioni di Superficie, 2002

The works of the artist Franco Nicolosi come from a deep intimate reflection. A sort of continuous sensorial interconnection where matter translates into an unexpected creative process, albeit meditative. An experiential practice, characterized by forms with unmistakable, sinuous and rhythmic traits. Forms that seem suspended between past and present, but that open to a constant and lasting dialogue. Here then are vases and drawings made with different materials, including clay, graphite, wood or ceramic. And, although each work follows a different specific path, they all eventually intertwine again, triggering reflections on concepts such as duplicity, symbolism, awareness and transformation.

interview by Romina Ciulli and Carole Dazzi

Salva con nome, “Cade pioggia di stelle. Fugge il tempo nelle rose” (Antonia Pozzi)

The works of the writer and photographer Alessandra Baldoni are characterized by a sense of uniqueness and restless disenchantment, rendered through an intimate and personal approach. Her images speak to us of themes related to memory, awareness, feelings, and are true stories of the soul, made up of bonds that intertwine and emotions that reveal themselves. Starting from a conceptual context made of words, the artist in fact brings out a powerful and poignant flow of photo-stories, in which everyone can recognize themselves, everyone can feel their own experience and essence. It is the art of storytelling, of creating universes where everything remains and never stops echoing. Read more →
