Contemporary printmaking on display in Rome at the Central Institute for Graphics

The exhibition Perentoria figura(Peremptory Figure), curated by Rita Bernini and Gabriella Bocconi, continues until July 30, showcasing to the public the works of three contemporary engravers linked to a “peremptory figuration”: Francesco Parisi (Rome, 1972), who prefers the technique of woodcut, Patrizio Di Sciullo (Fallo, Chieti, 1965) and Andrea Lelario (Rome, 1965), both distinguished by the use of etching and burin. A number of meetings and seminars dedicated to etching are planned as part of the exhibition, which is being held at theCentral Institute for Graphics in Rome.

The last of these will be held on Tuesday, June 27, at 4:30 p.m. in the Sala Dante of Palazzo Poli (headquarters of the Central Institute for Graphics): the title is The Languages of Art Graphics. Present will be the three artists, the curators of the exhibition, the authors of the texts, and also professors, scholars and professionals who will bring testimonies on didactics, historical heritage and languages of graphic art. In addition, the exhibition catalogs, created by the artists, will be presented during the meeting.
