Gianfranco Notargiacomo's 'In rosso' Exhibition at Galleria Artra in Milan

Gianfranco Notargiacomo (Rome, 1945) presents a decade of work in the exhibition 'In rosso' at Galleria Artra in Milan, curated by Matteo Masciulli with a text by Roberto Borghi. The show centers on two large sculptures from 2013, part of the Takéte series, featuring jagged painted wooden silhouettes that interlock into pyramid-like structures with vibrant colors. On the walls, a large tondo from 2018 and three polyptychs from the past year showcase red at its most activated. The surfaces, animated by small dented ridges, intensify chromatic vibration, appearing to scratch and saturate the space with energy. The exhibition highlights Notargiacomo's ongoing investigation into the relationship between painted surface and space over a career spanning more than five decades.
