Carol Rama's dual exhibition at Galleria Il Ponte in Florence

Galleria Il Ponte in Florence presents a two-part exhibition on Carol Rama (Turin, 1918-2015), curated by Bruno Corà and Bernardi. Corà's section highlights Rama's connection to poetry through drawings from the 1970s and 1990s, as well as geometric compositions from the 1950s and 1960s, which echo the 'cryptic geometrism' of poets Sanguineti and Manganelli. Bernardi's section focuses on the psychoanalytic dimension of Rama's work, particularly her use of recycled materials such as inner tubes, and her erotic paintings, which are interpreted as Freudian fetishes symbolizing absence and exploring sexual complexes and drives caught between rejection and desire.
