Angelo Bellobono's Trompe-l'Œil in the Marche Region
Angelo Bellobono (born 1964 in Nettuno) presents a landscape painting exhibition at Casa Sponge in Pergola, Marche. The works, created in January during a residency, include small canvases and papers with rapid, rarefied brushstrokes inside the house-gallery, and curious pieces on wood or stone literally 'planted' in flowerbeds, exposed to weather and biological agents, destined to decay. On an external wall, a painted stone reproduces the view beyond, creating a reverse trompe-l'œil where the image is not imitation but concept. The exhibition bridges the before and after of the pandemic lockdown, reflecting on landscape as what remains unchanged yet always perceived differently.
