Cervelli and Di Silvestre at Mucciaccia Gallery in Rome
The Mucciaccia Gallery in Rome presents a dual exhibition featuring Francesco Cervelli (born 1965) and Mauro Di Silvestre (born 1968), both Roman artists who explore time through memory. Cervelli's large, chromatically calm canvases construct dreamlike spaces referencing art history, with a key work being 'L'impossibile padiglione universale n°2' (2013-14), notable for its tactile, material quality. Di Silvestre's vibrant, autobiographical works, using bright colors, image overlays, and 1970s wallpaper inserts, capture personal childhood and family memories with spontaneity. The two perspectives are displayed frontally on the ground floor, balancing in a cabinet of paintings upstairs.
