Giuseppe Ciracì's 'Incompleteness' at University of Salento
The solo exhibition 'Incompleteness' by Giuseppe Ciracì (born 1975 in Brindisi) is on view at the University of Salento in Lecce until August 3, 2016. Curated by Massimo Guastella and organized by Letizia Gaeta, the show presents two drawings and eight paintings, including recent works and pieces from the 2008 'Faces' series. Ciracì's practice merges academic painting techniques with Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical studies, translating existential precariousness through 'fleshings' and lacerations of faces and bodies. A standout work is a painting dedicated to his deceased father, which incorporates clinical chart notations and depicts the artist's hand intertwined with his father's during a bedside vigil. The exhibition is held at Piazza Tancredi 7.
