Alessandro Piangiamore's Solo Show at Magazzino Explores Rainbows and Memory

Alessandro Piangiamore (born 1976 in Enna) presents his solo exhibition "Frangiflutti" at Magazzino gallery in Rome, running until September 10. The show features interactive works that change color only at the artist's command, aiming to humanize technology. A key piece, "Giove, pittore di farfalle," references Dosso Dossi's 1523-24 painting and investigates rainbow phenomena through seven tubular elements emitting colored light. The exhibition opens with starry skies from the series "Qualche uccello si perde nel cielo," previously shown at LitografiaBulla in Rome in December 2021, using linoleography and monotype techniques to depict feathers floating in air. The photographic series "Acqua negli occhi" presents icy slabs as revelations of transience. Large "portals" made of earth close the show, evoking the Latin phrase "Memento, homo." Piangiamore's work follows a diachronic path that defies norms and certainties, connecting various past and present pieces. The exhibition was discussed in an Artribune Podcast monologue by Donatella Giordano.
