Collective 8x3

The show that launched the new series of events at martinArte is characterized by the works of the artists of the gallery, where everyone presents three works, which speak to us of the various moments of individual research. They are represented as painting, sculpture, installation, graphic and intaglio printing. The works have been placed in order to emphasize the core essence of each artist and to "talk" to the images between them. They range from the works of Sergio Vasco made ??of plexiglass molded and perforated, where the image is deformed following the sinuous course of the material, the works of Michelangelo Cambursano, in which the characters are almost suspended and solitary beaches realized in oil on canvas . With Fernando Monta's work reaches its essence with those obtained in acrylic on wood, carved and pierced with gouges, placed on the bottom of a plexiglass mirror. In Mauro Lisardi the investigation of the subject is achieved through the woodcut, reaching outcomes poetic; Claudio Vindigni is instead the assembly of various objects and materials to make the installation that appropriates the surrounding space. In Mariella Bogliacino is the material obtained with a mixture of acrylic paint and mixed media to characterize the subjects of his works such as the Dolphins, Volcanoes and Symbols. Martina Barrottu investigates the painting and insert objects to make it more lively and penetrating its beach, while Paola Barbarossa examines a work of Klimt and draws inspiration for critical reflection and color, making a personal picture and impressive. martinArte September 2014

The curiosity and the attitude to carry the dexterity to experience the various techniques in the art world, to play with all the materials at his disposal, to create commingling of all kinds, in search of suitable material to meet the need to ship in a concrete idea. In painting loves retrace the gesture of the great masters, to snatch the sign, the meaning, the secret, or fix on canvas images of reality in a static and poetry inspired by the photography. Now continues to experiment by sharing his interests with his teachers and his students ...

Martina Barrottu: Natural talent reluctant all'esporsi for many years refining the art of painting on artist's copies that serve as gym to test the its technical capacity, but through which, however, a sign of character shines through even in the obligation of the uncompressed reproduction of works of others. His painting is crisp, clean, which then magically dissolves in color interpenetration of great aesthetic and harmonious. Finally arrives at a personal research on the monochrome and the study of "positive-negative" with some works inspired by nature, insects and details of objects. On the occasion of other events presented instead works that move away from this line: reproductions of comics, which on canvas win a heat atypical of the strips of the albums of the era. Lives and works in Turin, taking inspiration from his homeland, however, Sardinia, from which it is taking new ideas of artistic investigation. (Paola Barbarossa)

Mariella Bogliacino: The paintings of Mariella Bogliacino dealing with the different issues - from the figure to the symbol and the natural element - it is extremely tactile and gestural, almost on the canvas s'imprimessero the salt deposits of the sea or languages fire of the earth, to hold a becoming, a cyclical time, alluded to the same theme and water that is present in the Hellenistic culture, in which the mythology navy had a major role. The dolphin, in particular, seems to represent for the artist, the emblem of a mind that embodies a blend of nature and culture, wisdom and laughter, depth and lightness, as the other hand was on fire for Heraclitus. These elements, which in the painting of Mariella Bogliacino also become figures of style, contributing to the outcomes of great effectiveness. Lives and works in Turin.

Michelangelo Cambursano: E 'was Professor of Painting at the Art School "Renato Cottini" of Turin. His research began in the seventies with issues related to the study of shape and angles of the beach where it appears that loneliness in solitary bathers on the beaches and geometric. The latest research is the representation of the historic cafes. Of this phase of painting, almost hyper-realistic artist, Beppi Zancan writes: "Cambursano depicts the historical cafés of several cities, but always identifiable and recognizable; the atmosphere is rarefied times less polluted by chemicals and sound waves, the characters, however, are often the ones of today. And 'as if the artist were trying to revive today that time spent: an operation poetics of nostalgia and yearning alienating his metaphysical paintings ... It' a painter whose technique was refined by the activity of restorer and then the his works are also to enjoy the beauty of the painting. Lives and works in Turin

Mauro Lisardi: E 'Painter and Engraver. "On the long beaches there is a man, bowed, pledged to seek and search everything works and that leaves the sea between the grains of sand; engraved stones from the constant motion of the waves, shells of all shapes and sizes, wood counters. Rising, stop to observe the immensity of the waters: their constant movement, the sound of the waves when they finish their run to the shore, the noise that causes the shock of the water against the rocks. And so, like the sea, the rivers, streams and brooks; a continuous and incessant movement of something that flows continuously, that comes and goes. He wants to capture this movement, the breeze, and their freshness, he wants to fix the sudden changes in the painting of the time. Builds by removing the white pigment, scratching the paper, as in "Pebbles of Liguria" or using brush strokes of white gouache and ink as in "Wave" ... .. (Ester Lisardi) Lives and works in Turin.

Fernando Monta: artistic research Monta Fernando qualifies in the investigation of the sign and structure that define his work. The painting surface is enriched modules in expansion in space, whose dominant theme plants are waves, the hills, the moon, the water, the wind, which filter out emotional traces of personal experience, in a deep empathy with nature, which place of memory. With a stroke pictorial swirling, the artist makes visible the dynamic energy and fluid form, opening windows on worlds in motion. The surrounding space enters the inside of the work, which deconstructs Monta, fragmenting into several separate panels between them. In this way, analyzes the subject from multiple points of view, to make manifest the tear between the multiplicity of reality and that of memory. The vibration of emotions results in chromatic vibration and personal suffering is transformed into a nature schematic showing his dark side and disturbing. Lives and works in Turin.

His speech never loses sight of the humanity, the deep sense of existence, the dimension of contemporary society that is evolving rapidly. Acrylics, tapestries and Plexiglas appear which aspects of a work in progress, where the gesture, the color, the voltage of the line gives the composition a particular highlight."

In Turin, the exhibition space of Martinarte presented in 2007 Ribbon in oval frame, a sign of his experience as a track modeled and in 2008 The oval frame; the oval frame in Möbius was born from the search for an object that encapsulates the triad form-function-symbol, object in which everyone can find something of himself, something tentative, something "beyond." G. librante describes the artist: "... Vindigni is drawn to the subtle forms and intangible, and sometimes almost classical cadences. His temperament makes him a dynamic excitement and devoid of decoration but clotted, it seems, the expressiveness of a gesture, or a rhythm ... and it still shows in his works, a restlessness and a flurry of research. "R. Campanella instead points out: "The shape of the figure is distorted, antiplastic and sometimes skeletal, but in this volume degeneration of man and woman is given the truth of the composition which possesses in itself in Vindigni ancestral form."
