Ana Manso's 'Tomorrow's Weather' at Umberto Di Marino Gallery in Naples
Ana Manso (Lisbon, 1984) returns to Umberto Di Marino Gallery in Naples with a solo exhibition titled 'Tomorrow's weather', celebrating pure abstraction through painting, sculpture, and installation. The artist's choice of abstraction aims to sever ties with violent mass-media languages and reestablish a primary, generative relationship with reality. The exhibition features fluid and vibrant colors, astral symbols, wooden sculptures with straw hats, and light wall drawings, all autonomously linked in respect of rhythm, space, and form. Manso's abstraction offers a momentary suspension from confronting the truth of physical phenomena, embracing the principle of indeterminacy and mystery as an act of freedom.
