Fosco Valentini's Timeless Art at Galleria Alessandra Bonomo in Rome

Fosco Valentini (Rome, 1954) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Alessandra Bonomo in Rome, showcasing his multidisciplinary practice spanning video, holograms, drawings, and photography. His photographs evoke famous paintings by Vermeer and Velázquez, using everyday objects to create timeless scenes. The exhibition explores time as a rhythmic flow where space yields. Valentini states, 'Things happen in time. Next to time nothing happens, but one can have visions—even lasting a second—that can last forever.' Cities like Milan and Rome are reimagined through bold-colored paintings animated by music such as Adriano Celentano's 'Azzurro' and Matia Bazar's 'Vacanze romane,' emanating from wooden structures. The book 'Storia disegnata per accenni,' dedicated to Baruch Spinoza, emphasizes that 'the observer has every freedom to see or read according to their own understanding,' quoting critic Giovanna dalla Chiesa.
