Andrea Mastrovito: GAMeC Acquisition, Solo Show, and Sacred Interventions
Andrea Mastrovito, born in Bergamo in 1978, is currently producing art. On October 17, GAMeC acquired his installation titled 'Tristes presentimientos de lo que ha de acontecer,' which references Goya's 'The Disasters of War.' A solo exhibition featuring his work is taking place at Galleria Marca Corona in Sassuolo. Additionally, he has created engravings in the sanctuary of Tortona. His series 'Conversazioni ragionate' links everyday desk items with illustrated texts about artists such as Dürer and Goya. In 2021, Mastrovito co-founded The Drawing Hall, collaborating with artists like Stefano Arienti. His decade-long drawing practice was shaped by a residency in Argentina. He also painted a mural in Tortona, showcasing San Luigi Orione's salvific acts, and is working with local artisans on future projects.
