Emanuele Becheri's Dual Exhibition in Siena Explores Gesture and Form

Emanuele Becheri (Prato, 1973) presents two parallel exhibitions in Siena as part of a three-year macro project focusing on sculpture and the relationship between gesture and form. At Galleria Fuoricampo, a balanced intervention pairs a terracotta sculpture with rococo sinuosity alongside three drawings made with pongo (plasticine). In the majestic Sala San Galgano, three sculptures, each approximately 50 cm, emerge from the penumbra, presenting plastic forms that generate kaleidoscopic and perhaps erroneous images—erroneous in reference to the subjective vision of each viewer, as the artist suggests a plurality of images rather than a single one. The gesture becomes a method through which he courts the material, shaping it until the 'force of artistic feeling' reaches equilibrium, and the work manifests in its total figurability and non-figuration.
