Gianluca Sgherri's suspended art on display in Cremona

The art of Gianluca Sgherri (Fucecchio, 1962) manifests itself as a suspension between the real and the imagined, in a constant balance between memory and innovation. His pictorial language, layered and nuanced, is the protagonist of the exhibition Senza Fiato (Breathless), hosted from April 12, 2025 by Mangano Galleria d’Arte in Cremona and curated by Pierpaolo Mangano. An exhibition that represents a journey through pictorial matter, where color becomes an expression of states of mind and the artistic gesture is charged with profound meanings.

Sgherri is an artist who has always worked on the construction of a personal language, avoiding easy classifications and experimenting with new forms of expression. His art develops in a dimension that combines surreal iconographies and intense emotional introspection, creating images that evoke the mystery of time and space. In Breathless, painting is transformed into a complex visual experience of tonal depth, veiling and luminous vibrations. The works in the exhibition tell of a suspended universe, in which figurative elements are placed in a rarefied, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Still landscapes, geometric architecture and intimate spaces are populated with recurring symbols: teaspoons, cups, distant planets. Objects seemingly common, which, however, in Sgherri’s visual narrative take on a powerful evocative charge, oscillating between the artist’s personal dimension and a universal collective imagination.

Sgherri’s path is marked by a pictorial research that does not let itself be carried away by the fashions of the moment, but finds its authenticity in an expressive awareness rooted in tradition in order to renew it from within. His painting is the result of careful reflection, a thoughtful process that leads to the creation of works in which every detail is loaded with meaning. Chromatic stratifications are one of the distinctive elements of his art: every brushstroke is a deposit of memory, every glaze contributes to the construction of a visual depth that almost seems to breathe. Color, never random, is used to suggest changing moods, generating a tension between stillness and movement, between contemplation and emotional involvement. The exhibition at Mangano Art Gallery confirms the central role of painting in the contemporary scene, thanks to an artistic vision that restores dignity and authenticity to this expressive language. Senza Fiato thus becomes an opportunity to immerse oneself in a suspended world, where reality dissolves into a poetic dimension and painting becomes an instrument of reflection.
