Pino Pinelli's artistic evolution on display at Milan's Dep Art Gallery

Milan ’s Dep Art Gallery opens the 2024/2025 exhibition season with an exhibition dedicated to Pino Pinelli(Catania, 1938 - 2024) entitled Pino Pinelli. You can be a poet with a single word. Painting from the 1970s to Today, which can be visited at the gallery spaces from September 17, 2024 to January 25, 2025. The exhibition is curated by Federico Sardella and realized in collaboration with theArchivio Pino Pinelli. The exhibition traces the evolution of his art from the monochrome experiments of the 1970s, to the “broken rectangle,” to his most recent works. Pinelli has devoted more than fifty years of research to painting and color, exploring its potential. Always described and included in that trend defined by Filiberto Menna as “Analytical Painting,” his work also concerns relief and three-dimensionality.

A bilingual volume will also be published on the occasion of the exhibition. Within it there will be an in-depth study by Sara Uboldi that proposes a reading of the work through neuroaesthetics and a contribution by Lorenzo Madaro dedicated to ceramic production. In addition, the volume offers a conversation between Pino Pinelli, Federico Sardella, Antonio Addamiano and a dialogue with Alessandra Pinelli. The publication presents events proposed in public and private spaces in Italy and abroad, such as Palazzo Reale, Gallerie d’Italia in Milan and MAMM in Moscow.

“My work is composed of several elements: the meaning is multiple, in that there is a problem of gradient - that is, of slow transformation of the initial datum (color) - in the work; a problem of interaction with the wall (passive recipient), for a total relationship; a problem of tactility - transgression of the material (unprepared canvas that betrays the canvas itself, is transformed); the poetics of materials - the works are of reduced proportions, pure intentionality; I attempt a visual filling of intentionality,” the artist argued.
