Marco Tamburro's 'Gemelli' Exhibition at MAXXI Rome
Marco Tamburro, born in Perugia in 1974, is showcasing his inaugural exhibition titled 'Gemelli' at MAXXI in Rome, under the curation of Luca Beatrice. This exhibition includes thirteen previously unseen large-scale pieces specifically created for the museum's corner area. The title signifies the arrival of Tamburro's twins in 2018, which broadened his view of reality. He delves into the concept of duality through pairs of images that are either similar or contrasting. Utilizing a vibrant pictorial style with a color scheme of whites, blacks, and grays, highlighted by red, the exhibition reflects on themes of modern alienation, urban dynamics, and speed, drawing inspiration from cinema (Blade Runner), theater (Beckett), and his personal experiences. 'Prospettiva ottimista' embodies themes of hope and renewal. The exhibition is ongoing at MAXXI Rome.
