Marcello Lo Giudice's 'Eden, pianeti lontani' at MAXXI Rome
Marcello Lo Giudice, born in Taormina in 1957 and now living between Milan and Montecarlo, studied geology before attending the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. His exhibition 'Eden, pianeti lontani' at the MAXXI's Corner D features six large canvases that explore a symbiotic relationship with remote geological landscapes. His commitment to the biosystem, supported since 2013 by the Fondazione Principe Alberto II di Monaco, led to his 2012 nomination as Artista della Croce Rossa. The show highlights his ties to Informale art and nature, earning him the epithet 'pittore tellurico' from Pierre Restany. The paintings present macro spaces of appropriation and diffusion of ideal geological fragments, appearing only seemingly aniconic.
