Enrico Robusti's Hyper-Proteic Painting at Labirinto della Masone
The Labirinto della Masone in Parma hosts 'Pittura iperproteica', a solo exhibition by Enrico Robusti (born 1957), featuring distorted-perspective paintings of food and grotesque feasting. The show explores the vulgarity and horror of gluttony, inspired by Parmigianino's self-portrait in a convex mirror and Correggio's frescoes. Robusti's works, such as 'La maialata' (2002), reflect childhood memories turned nightmarish. The exhibition includes non-food subjects like folk dances and bumper cars. A catalog with an interview by Camillo Langone accompanies the show.
