Maria Chiara Gatti's 'Quel che porta il viaggio…' at M&M Gallery Genoa

Maria Chiara Gatti presents 'Quel che porta il viaggio…', a solo exhibition at M&M Gallery in Genoa, curated by Fabrizio Guerrini, running until December 22, 2016. The show features 'Fabulars', a large-scale work she has been developing for about two years. Gatti, who specializes in paper restoration, creates tactile, olfactory, and visual experiences using antique papers and manuscripts. She constructs images with transparent thread frames, incorporating figures cut from 16th-century engraving reproductions, building narratives that are literary and ironic. Her pieces are open, perspective, three-dimensional structures affixed to walls, with air between planes, evoking a sense of floating meaning.
