Bomben and Tajariol in Dialogue at Pordenone Exhibition

A dual exhibition at Galleria Pizzinato in Pordenone highlights the work of Ludovico Bomben and Michele Tajariol, two emerging artists from the region. The show is part of a larger project tracing the history of art portfolios commissioned by Zanussi/Electrolux from Stamperia Albicocco in Udine, which paired major Italian writers like Andrea Zanzotto and Claudio Magris with contemporary artists such as Emilio Vedova, Piero Pizzi Cannella, Nunzio, and Giovanni Frangi. The final commission featured Bomben, Tajariol, and poet Pierluigi Cappello. Bomben's minimal sculptures synthesize references from altarpieces to Orthodox icons, while Tajariol's work centers on objects as simulacra carrying domestic and emotional meanings.
