Antonio Bardino's Exhibition Explores Nature and Human Absence in Cagliari
Antonio Bardino (Alghero, 1973) presents a solo exhibition in Cagliari, curated by Mariolina Cosseddu and promoted by Fondazione Bartoli-Felter. The show examines the complex and often dark relationship between humanity and nature, where nature shifts from benevolent to hostile, reclaiming what was taken. Bardino's paintings feature diverse plant species regenerating across the canvas, using a wide chromatic range and surprising tonal variations. The artist centers his poetics on human absence, reflecting the fall of anthropocentrism while hinting at possible redemption. His approach blends realism and metaphysics, moving from non-places to relational spaces, interiors to exteriors, and hyperrealism to abstraction. The exhibition contrasts opposing dimensions to reveal vital spaces of contemporaneity.
