Davide Allieri's First Milan Solo Show 'Duet' at Rita Urso Artopia Gallery

Davide Allieri, a Bergamo-born artist born in 1982, presents his first solo exhibition in Milan at Rita Urso Artopia Gallery. Titled 'Duet', the show explores duality through themes of emptiness, lack, negation, anti-narrative, fragment, and denied image. The artist employs a kaleidoscope of media and a dialogue between poor and precious materials. Works include wood and brass sculptures titled 'Attraction' and the installation '0,450', where the number indicates the amount of emptiness in one of two communicating display cases. Allieri investigates the relationship between original and replica/imprint, as well as the contrast between elements such as empty and full, positive and negative. The viewer is called to play an active role. Allieri states that a copy is never identical to the original; even if perfect, it always has a minimal difference that makes it unique.
