Alessandro Roma's multifaceted art: painting, sculpture, and ceramics at MIC Faenza

Alessandro Roma's solo exhibition 'Vertigo. Walking on the edge of the tone' opens at MIC Faenza, featuring ceramics produced in the museum's educational lab and painted fabrics. The Milanese artist (b. 1977) continues his investigation into form and the intrinsic structure of painting and sculpture, confirming his passion for ceramics. Curated by Irene Biolchini, the show creates a labyrinthine installation where viewers experience works from multiple perspectives. Roma began working with ceramics after his 2011 solo show at Mart Rovereto, seeking natural materials over synthetic ones. He produced new pieces at MIC's lab, founded by Bruno Munari, assisted by Dario Valli. The exhibition includes works inspired by historical ceramic artists like Lucio Fontana, Leoncillo, Ansgar Elde, Fausto Melotti, and Asger Jorn. Roma discusses his return to Milan from London, citing high costs and disappointment with the local art scene's lack of institutional support, leading to his upcoming move to Brussels. The catalogue, produced by MIC and galleries z2o Sara Zanin Gallery and Yamamoto Keiko Rochaix, includes texts by Irene Biolchini and Marina Dacci, and will be presented on October 13. Upcoming projects include an intervention at Casa Museo Jorn on October 6 and a solo show at z2o Sara Zanin in Rome on October 17.
