In Carrara, Claudio Cargiolli's solo exhibition featuring his most recent works

First solo show in Carrara for Claudio Cargiolli (Ponzanello di Fosdinovo, 1952), from November 18 to 20 (so for only three days) at Palazzo Binelli, where an exclusive exhibition arrives in the halls of the historic Carrara palace, offering the public some of the artist’s most recent works. It is a series of ten paintings made in the last eight months brought together under an evocative title, Per filo e per segno (By wire and by sign), to represent the last section of an artistic thread that unravels over time and through all the creative phases that have marked Cargiolli’s dimension, until it ties in with current events more contingent that the artist always analyzes through his entirely personal filter, a glimpse into the dreamlike and transcendent that then translates into a vision and a narrative in which colors and images give life to something new and different. The initiative was desired, promoted and organized by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Carrara to bring prestige to a local master and thus bring the city closer to his art.

Cargiolli, despite being an Apuan “doc,” has never had a solo exhibition in Carrara, the city where he was trained anyway. Born in Ponzanello in 1952, a small village near Fosdinovo, he attended the Liceo Artistico and later the Accademia di Belle Arti in Carrara, where he still lives and works. His is a painting that sinks its poetics and strength in the close relationship with the places of his childhood and his personal growth, evolving from time to time along with new experiences that enrich his cultural and spiritual background. His paintings are visions in which objects, forms, colors and characters maintain a mystical aura that is almost detached from reality: each of them lives an existence of its own but is inextricably linked to the rest of the world through the image that the artist infuses into the painting itself, in a poetic and metaphysical construction that in the unreal reproduces the essence of reality itself, in a hyperuranium space that springs from the artist’s mind. For these reasons Cargiolli has exhibited all over Italy, reaching its peak in 2017 in Genoa, the anthological exhibition dedicated to him at Palazzo Ducale, curated by Giovanni Faccenda.

The exhibition is scheduled to open at 6 p.m. Nov. 18. A meeting with the author, who will explain the significance of the ten works on display, is scheduled in the conference room of Palazzo Binelli. Massimo Bertozzi, author with Giovanni Faccenda, Guido Oldani, Piercarlo Santini and Cesare Orler, of the introductory texts of the first volume of the general catalog of the artist’s works published by Mondadori - Cairo Group, is scheduled to be present during the opening event. For the occasion, the catalog will be presented by publishing manager Carlo Motta. The works will remain on display Nov. 19 and 20, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. Below are images of the works on display.
