PAOLO RACAGNI
Fragmenta picta
From 12 to 28 November 2021
The Exhibition
The exhibition, curated by Luca Maggio, includes the exhibition of medium and large-sized works created by the artist during the last year of activity and which are part of two cycles: No time, in which abstraction and possible figurative elements play to redesign new identities , and Pelagus, who investigates not only the sea but the depth in an absolute sense. In each work there are the typical materials of Racagni's stylistic code, from slates to mosaic tiles, from glass and copper inserts to painted plaster, in the name of artistic and poetic metamorphosis.
The Artist
