Giuseppe Ciracì Presents Azzurro Cielo at Torre Guaceto

Giuseppe Ciracì, a Brindisi-born artist (b. 1975), presents his new series Azzurro cielo at the Torre Guaceto nature reserve in Puglia. The exhibition follows Il tempo della Natura, curated by Antonella Marino and Francesco Paolo de Ceglia, held at the University of Bari's student center. Ciracì's work closes a cycle begun in 2011 focusing on the anatomical and psychological study of the human body and its environmental relationship. His artistic process involves rigorous layering, skillful assemblages, and refined chiaroscuro effects achieved with pencil on paper. The Windsor Cycle, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's corpus, features faces and body fragments juxtaposed with reproductions from Leonardo's pages, which Ciracì exposed to sun and rain for months. For Azzurro cielo, he left an old art history book outdoors, allowing weather to recolor its images. The exhibition is accompanied by critical texts from Massimo Guastella and Antonella Marino. Ciracì's work employs found paper, graphite, and cutter incisions, creating universal mappings that explore science, technique, materials, and private narratives.
