Cultivating worlds
From 23 September to 16 December, Galleria Triphè, via delle Fosse di Castello, 2
Chromatism, materiality, exploding forms, distinguish the works of Sergio Angeli.The artist's works are emblematic of the achievement of a history, in fact, regenerated as a firm reaction to the dark times we are going through. In the momentary suspension "the figures do not figure" seek a new definition, a new permanent center of gravity. Angeli's research, in the phase of suspension for a new historical horizon, brings out how constant it is in him to question himself with embryonic figures who cling to each other and place themselves in an unnatural state of extreme suffering.
