The Exhibition

The exhibition "Gloria Girelli Bruni - The Lands of the Soul", celebrates the career of the artist Gloria Girelli Bruni (Verona, 1967), which began in the 90s with the invitation of her painter sister to a work experience in the artistic field. The works selected for the exhibition summarize the artistic orientation of Gloria Girelli Bruni, in which a strong sensitivity stands out for the color combinations that embody sensations and emotions. The exhibition aims to enhance the concept of proprioception, the stylistic code that distinguishes the art of Gloria Girelli Bruni. To understand the meaning of the whole process, we must focus on two lines: on the one hand, the titles of the paintings; and on the other the exhibition path chosen specifically by the artist. This combination allows us to understand the complex and intimate relationship that unites emotional states and matter. Thus we will have works more focused on introspection, such as "Dream", "Getting lost", "Stillness", "Integrity", "Vibrations" and works oriented towards the other by oneself, the Elsewhere that awaits us out there, as " Earth and water "," Emerged lands "," Sea of light "," The voice of the sea "," Night "," Shimmers "," Galaxies ". The work "Sacred dance", a work to which Gloria Girelli Bruni is very close and which well represents the gestures of creation, remains as a premise and as a compendium to the whole. The generative gesture, a theme dear to the artist's poetics, is the gesture that the artist makes in dispersing the color on the canvas: after all, it is nothing more than a turn around, a ritual dance aimed at creation. "Spring" is the work that summarizes the entire production of Gloria Girelli Bruni. It is the only three-dimensional work, where the support material - which is usually a noble material - is instead a very poor, almost waste material. The elements here do not combine on a wooden table, there is no reasoned frame, nor is there an attempt to correct the material limits of the object in question. It is a work that speaks to us of "possibility", of overcoming every limit, even technical, in the artistic manifestation, as the gesture, the pigments, the chemical reactions of the material manage to make even the most humble of the media precious . "Spring" is, therefore, in every sense, a true alchemy of art. Finally, the exhibition path chosen by the artist, essential to perceive the meaning of the exhibition. Space is invested with light; the light tones of dawn triumph like whites, pinks, blues, to then lead us, slowly, to meet the evening, with its distant lights at the bottom of the horizon. Finally, the sacred and mysterious darkness of the night comes, conceived not as a threat, but as a sweet and intimate recollection in what is universal within each of us.
