Alessandro Bulgarini's IconoSophia Exhibition in Brescia

Alessandro Bulgarini, a Brescia-born painter born in 1983, presented his solo exhibition 'IconoSophia' at SpazioAref in Brescia, curated by Luca Siniscalco. The project, conceived in 2018 shortly after his previous show 'Alta Fantasia', took two years to find a suitable venue. The exhibition defines Bulgarini's aesthetic choices and philosophical references, emphasizing the philosophical and esoteric potential of art. Key works include '3rD eye', depicting a third eye in a 3D portrait referencing the vesica piscis; 'Androgynus (contraria sunt complementa)', exploring alchemical union of masculine and feminine; and 'L’uccello dell’auto-conoscenza', symbolizing self-awareness through the 'remembrance of Self'. Bulgarini distances his art from nihilistic materialism, seeking to restore spiritual traditions and inner awakening. The interview was conducted by Lorenzo Pennacchi.
