Unexpected Messages: Simonetta Ferrante on display in Milan

Tonightat 7 p.m., "Messaggi Imprevisti ," an exhibition dedicated to Simonetta Ferrante, willopen at the Max Museum in Chiasso until Oct. 27.

Born in Milan on Nov. 15, 1930, Ferrante was trained in art and music, having earned a diploma at the Liceo Artistico, one at the Central School for Arts and Design in London and another piano diploma at the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan.

Simonetta Ferrante embarked on a career as an editorial and advertising graphic designer, working for publishers such as Garzanti and Bompiani, then in Bob Noorda’s studio and then opening a studio with some colleagues and having clients such as Mondadori and the Esselunga supermarket chain .

Leaving the graphic design studio, she returned to painting, opening the Center of ’Image and Expression: since 1994 she has been actively engaged in artistic work and preparing exhibitions also with artist friends, in Italy and abroad.

The exhibition willbe shown at the Carte Scoperte Gallery and will bring out her style through a precise choice of works - calligraphies, collages, watercolors and plexiglass - in which the usual immediacy in entrusting the gesture with the intuition of elusive signs in the search for the still possible paths within that complex map of allusive signs that the artist is elaborating with the experimental tools of her language stands out.

The exhibition will be open to the public at the following times: Monday 2:30-7:00 p.m., Tuesday through Friday 10:30-7:00 p.m., Saturday 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m., while Sunday the exhibition closes.
