Marco Strappato's 'Etica, Tecnica e Pathos' at The Gallery Apart Rome

The Gallery Apart in Rome presents Marco Strappato's solo exhibition 'Etica, Tecnica e Pathos', running through 2022. The title references the CCCP – Fedeli alla linea album 'Epica Etica Etnica Pathos', with Strappato altering the sequence to reflect his vision: ethics tied to landscape care, technical artistic approach, and emotional response. The show features canvases, photoengravings, and quick sketches that create a wild, disorienting path for viewers. Works blend sharp lines suggesting rocks and plants with hazy horizons, while photoengravings play with gray scales, transforming conventional smartphone backgrounds into ambiguous, evocative images. Traces oscillate between real and mental landscapes, with swift marks on unused gallery entry documents. The exhibition explores landscape as a multifaceted concept, inviting viewers to lose themselves without reference points.
