Down Deep: Contemporary Painting Collective at Villa Contemporanea

The exhibition titled 'Down Deep. Immagini del profondo nella pittura contemporanea' is currently hosted at Villa Contemporanea in Monza. It showcases the works of six artists: Claudia Matta, Bruno Marrapodi, Liana Ghukasyan, Luca De Angelis, Silvia Argiolas, and Lorenzo Aceto. Curated by Andrea Lacarpia, who provided a critical text, the exhibition delves into the relationship between painting and the body, focusing on elements like gesture, figure, and color. The artworks highlight a contemporary sense of freedom and respond to identity fragmentation in today’s flexible society. Additionally, a video by Giacomo Nicolella Maschietti for Artribune Television features gallery director Monica Villa discussing the exhibition and the varied artistic expressions of the participants.
