Marco Fantini's Collages and Sculptures at Galleria Poggiali in Pietrasanta
Marco Fantini (Vicenza, 1965) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Poggiali in Pietrasanta, featuring collages and sculptures that engage with contemporary violence, solitude, and psychological distress. His works update Braque's Cubist concept of simultaneous reality, incorporating references to Picasso, Dix, and radical Street Art from the 1970s and 1980s. The collages build a subtly unsettling material universe, akin to Art Brut. The exhibition also includes two hyper-real sculptures: Skull, a travertine skull, and HB, a large enameled wooden pencil, embodying the paradoxical creative and destructive madness of society. The text is written by Niccolò Lucarelli.
