Franco Guerzoni and Lorenzo Modica in Dialogue at Studio G7, Bologna

Studio G7 in Bologna presents 'Nascosto in bella vista', a two-person exhibition featuring Franco Guerzoni (Modena, 1948) and Lorenzo Modica (Rome, 1988). The show avoids direct comparison between generations, instead focusing on the 'unspoken' that underpins both artists' practices—namely, the problem of the image and its contingent formation within a creative process. Though both are painters, the exhibition includes graphic, sculptural, and installation works. Guerzoni's piece, 'Intravedere' (pigments and scagliola on plaster box, 26x18x6 cm), presents a crack in a plaster slab from which a face emerges, suggesting the image's dominance within matter. Modica's work features three plexiglass sheets holding drawings, sketches, and prints, inviting mental associations in an atlas-like arrangement. The exhibition encourages viewers to adopt an exploratory posture, moving close and then stepping back to avoid missing decisive details. Enrico Camprini wrote the review for Artribune.
