Agostino Arrivabene's 'Hierogamy' at Cara Gallery, New York
Cara Gallery in Chelsea, New York, founded by Italians Irene and Marco Cassina in September 2015, presents 'Hierogamy,' a solo exhibition of painter Agostino Arrivabene. The show features works executed in oil on linen or antique panel, cracked oil on brass, and painting on paesina stone, referencing the Wunderkammer tradition. Central pieces include 'Ea -Exit' and 'Il sogno di Aclepio,' created between 2014 and 2016, which engage with alchemical imagery, archaic Western art, G.B. Piranesi's Roman antiquities prints, and the 19th-century American Hudson River School. The exhibition marks the third Italian artist showcased at the gallery, following Igor Mitoraj and Alessandro Del Pero. The gallery is located at 508 West 24th Street, New York, NY 10011. The show's final weekend is approaching.
