Rome, Sergio Sarra brings his works created from 2008 to the present to the Slaughterhouse

The Sergio Sarra exhibition is on view at the Slaughterhouse in Rome from April 11 to May 17, 2019. Excluding the Things I Chose to Do.
Curated by Laura Cherubini, the exhibition is conceived as a collection of works by Sergio Sarra (Pescara, 1961) in dialogue with each other and with the environments of Pavilion 9B of the Mattatoio in Rome. The title of the exhibition emphasizes the impossibility of determining the success of a work in advance and is also a statement that reveals the artist’s creative approach.

Sarra’s work ranges from painting to sculpture and installation. Holding together such a diverse body of work is an iconography based on drawing and composition of a metaphysical nature, offering an enigmatic and unfamiliar worldview. The works in the exhibition investigate the themes that have been the focus of the artist’s research for a number of years, such as landscapes, faces, and prismatic architecture. Within an apparently empty space the different elements are posed and by means of a painted line, continuous and abstract, reveal further combinatorial figures.

The project cannot be considered a “retrospective,” containing works from 2008 to the present of which most have never been exhibited before. For all information you can visit the official website of the Slaughterhouse.
