Gioberto Noro's Blue-Tinged Photographs Dialogue with Beato Angelico at Peola Simondi, Turin

The Turin gallery Peola Simondi presents 'Sulla Fotografia (analogie e figure del dissimile)', an exhibition by the artist duo Gioberto Noro—Sergio Gioberto and Marilena Noro—featuring photographs virated in a precise blue tone that evokes the spiritual blue of Yves Klein and Ad Reinhardt, as well as the metaphysical light of Beato Angelico. The works explore light, volumes, and textures through refined architectural compositions, with a focus on a detail from Angelico's 'Annunciation' at the Convent of San Marco in Florence. The exhibition text was written by artist Gregorio Botta, who connects the photographs to Quattrocento painting, Malevich's absolute void, and Klein's blue. The blue serves as the objective correlative, giving the images a spectral quality that reconciles with warm, metaphysical painterly tones. The series 'Luogo geometrico dell’Essere (omaggio a Beato Angelico)' is presented as a seven-stage journey into silence and waiting. The exhibition is a rare iconographic experience not to be missed even after the turbulent Turin Art Week.
