Giacinto Cerone commemorated 20 years after death with Rome exhibition
Twenty years after the death of Italian sculptor Giacinto Cerone (Melfi, 1957 – Rome, 2004), Galleria Eddart in Rome, in collaboration with his archive, presents a commemorative exhibition at Palazzo Taverna. The show features 12 works and a catalogue containing an unpublished interview between Elena Del Drago and Elena Cavallo Cerone. Cerone was known for his mastery of materials, particularly plaster and ceramics, which he favored over bronze. He described his approach as 'action must beat the speed of thought.' The exhibition includes works such as the 'Soffincielo' series created in Faenza. Cerone, who died suddenly in 2004, is remembered by collector and friend Ines Musumeci Greco as a romantic, humble artist who loved the sea, freedom, and his family. He avoided the art world circuit and was influenced by primitive art. The exhibition runs at Palazzo Taverna in Rome.
