Davide Coltro's Electronic Painting at MA*GA Gallarate

Davide Maria Coltro, born in Verona in 1967 and known for pioneering electronic painting, is exhibiting his creations at Museo MA*GA in Gallarate. The exhibition, titled 'Astrazione Mediale' and curated by Alessandro Castiglioni, will be on display until September 1, 2024. It delves into abstract art movements, from Movimento Arte Concreta to Pittura Analitica. Coltro's electronic paintings, which were featured at the 54th Venice Biennale, transform displays into canvases for abstract color fields via coding. The event also includes workshops focused on the interplay between technological physicality and digital immateriality. Additionally, Coltro's 'Quadro Civico' concept, first introduced in Shanghai in 2006, is being adapted for Gallarate. He critiques the digital art landscape while connecting his spiritual insights to theorists like W.J.T. Mitchell, supported by two publications from Alberto Fiz and Elena Pontiggia.
