Palazzo Trigona reopens in Noto with an exhibition by young Marco Eusepi

In Noto, after forty years, the halls of Palazzo Trigona, an important Baroque building where, from July 9 to September 15, the Eduardo Secci Gallery, in collaboration with the Municipality of Noto, is organizing the exhibition Gardens by the young Marco Eusepi (Anzio, 1991), curated by Pier Paolo Pancotto. The five rooms that house the works of Marco Eusepi were opened to the public precisely on the occasion of the Lazio artist, who chose these spaces of the early 18th-century Baroque palace for the strong dialogue they express with his own research. The exhibition, the second chapter that the gallery dedicates to the young Roman artist, brings together pictorial works on canvas and paper of both small and large dimensions.

Through a research as ancient as it is contemporary, Marco Eusepi proposes an intimate representation of nature and landscape linked to tradition, where the natural element is studied in both its microscopic and macroscopic aspects becoming a pretext to activate a metalinguistic reflection on painting. In his pictorial grammar, the surface becomes a field of formal deconstruction in which different planes merge questioning compositional hierarchies through the creation of new material organisms.

“The works in the exhibition at Palazzo Trigona di Cannicarao in Noto,” writes curator Pancotto, are “a group of intel papers or paintings on canvas of small and large format; the latter constitute a novelty within the artist’s production marking, in some way, a turning point that the project in Noto exhaustively documents. The works, all dated between 2019 and 2022, have as their subject landscapes or vegetal elements that, following a chromatic range now more faithful to life now more of fantasy, emerge from the clear background of the paper with the same unruly speed with which they run through, in daily life, the artist’s gaze and heart. That, in a nutshell, is how his operating system might be summarized: Relying on the rapidity of a pictorial gesture to return the immediacy of a sensation - for the most part, aroused by nature - and thus make the viewers participate in it, sharing with them the perceptual experience that gave rise to them; spontaneously, without resorting to any artifice, just as, going along with the natural course of things, the event took place. In this sense, these flowers, these views take on an almost autobiographical character, given the intimate nature that determined them. The works find their place in the evocative rooms of a Baroque building, Palazzo Trigona di Cannicarao, integrating themselves integrally with them, as if they had always been there and, only today, unveiled their presence. Many of them, in fact, were conceived by the artist for the occasion and, united with the others, they give rise to a sort of large installation that, without solution of continuity, takes place in the palace emphasizing the environmental character that Eusepi’s pictorial syntax is able to generate.”
