Andrea Barzaghi's Daimon-Driven Painting at Société Interludio

Andrea Barzaghi's exhibition at Société Interludio in Cambiano presents a radical shift in his painting practice, marked by a struggle between artist and work. The show includes works from 2022 to 2025, such as 'Storia degli uomini che decisero di diventare pietra' (2023), which the artist says closed a path but began a new way of painting. Barzaghi, influenced by what he calls his 'demon on his shoulders,' now embraces multiplicity and failure, abandoning a linear approach for a circular, oscillating process. Key works like 'Ancora senza titolo' (2022) and 'Il demone sulle spalle' (2025) depict this daimon as a doppelgänger. The exhibition explores frames as co-protagonists, as seen in 'Amanti' (2023), 'Catwalk' (2024), and 'Addio' (2025). Pools, a topos since 2015, become wombs in 'Storia del cammino dell’ermafrodita' (2025), which condenses fifteen years of research. The show runs at Société Interludio, Cambiano, with a work list available online.
