Giorgio Tentolini's 'Shades' at Galleria Ravagnan Explores Memory and AI

Giorgio Tentolini's solo exhibition 'Shades' at Galleria Ravagnan in Venice presents works that layer metal mesh and tulle to create elusive, dissolving images. The artist has long explored the ambiguous territory between painting and material, image and fade. His pieces require time, distance, and movement from the viewer, who must assemble fragments and voids—a process akin to scrolling through unstable digital images on screens. The exhibition draws a parallel between memory and artificial intelligence, as images emerge slowly from matter like childhood recollections. Tentolini's technique involves stratifying materials to produce transparent, shadowy effects that never fully resolve. The show is on view at the gallery, which is located in Venice.
