Carrara, an exhibition investigates the current spread of non-geometric abstract painting

In the contemporary art space of Palazzo del Medico in Carrara, Vôtre, run by Nicola Ricci, the exhibition color-abstract-informal, curated by Fabio Cavallucci, will open on Saturday, September 12, 2020, featuring works of a non-geometric abstract nature made by a dozen or so artists, mostly Italian.

It starts from the observation that in recent years, at international galleries and fairs, we are witnessing a gradual expansion of a type of painting that only ten or twenty years ago seemed banished: an abstract painting that is not geometric but tends toward the use of shaded fields of color, or even ready to immerse itself in the tangle of shapeless matter, echoing the characteristics of historical informal.

In the face of this persistent phenomenon, the exhibition intends to analyze it, bringing together the works of artists who, although with different modes and intentions, are united by a research that proceeds in this direction. Thus, works by Antonio Catelani, CCH, Maurizio Faleni, Federico Fusj, Hu Huiming, Giuseppe Linardi, Luciano Massari, Alfredo Pirri, Gianluca Sgherri, and Serena Vestrucci will be on display. Each brings with them different stories and reasons and is moved by specific motivations that lead them to use these forms of abstraction, often not traceable to a single origin.

A catalog to be published during the course of the exhibition, with images of the installations in a palace whose stucco and decadent paintings already seem to give an image of a seething, formless space, will investigate the artists’ stories and reasons.

To avoid the concentration of people in accordance with anti-Covid rules, the opening extends throughout the day on Sept. 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The color-abstract-informal contemporary art group show will be open to the public until Nov. 19, 2020, Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m.
