Andreas Senoner's 'Heritage' at Galleria Dopplegaenger in Bari

South Tyrolean artist Andreas Senoner (born 1982 in Bolzano) returns to Galleria Dopplegaenger in Bari with his solo exhibition 'Heritage'. The title references both the legacy of his previous intervention and genetic inheritance as a sedimentation of archetypes. As Vittorio Parisi notes in the catalogue, this is not a Jungian valence but a physiological one of neuronal transmission. The heritage is channeled primarily through material—woods from his forests, skillfully carved and delivered to a self-representation expressed in fragments, portraits, or remnants of limbs, relics or ex-votos, integrated with brushstrokes of color, encapsulated in showcases or cages, or partially covered with plumage in an oneiric permeability between human and animal. However, the hyperrealist misunderstanding tends to rarefy, presenting itself in a minimal visual compendium: in clothes cut and pressed into small colored blocks, traces of identity transfigured into geometric artifacts.
