Antonio Marchetti Lamera's 'Breathed on by lights' at Fondazione Pino Pascali
The Fondazione Pino Pascali in Polignano a Mare presents the solo exhibition 'Breathed on by lights/Soffiato dalla luce' by Antonio Marchetti Lamera (Bergamo, 1964), curated by Neylan Bağcıoğlu İzg. The show features new works that explore the interplay of light and shadow through a process starting with photography but rooted in drawing. Marchetti Lamera uses acrylics and wax crayons on circular or square canvases to create shifting, immaterial shadows that evoke silvery landscapes illuminated by soft light. The title references Italo Calvino's novel 'The Nonexistent Knight,' highlighting the artist's fascination with the light-shadow dichotomy. His work is inspired by the light and architecture of Istanbul and the Adriatic coast, symbolic border zones between East and West. The exhibition runs at the Fondazione Pino Pascali.
