Mario Trimarchi's 'Barricades' at Galleria Antonia Jannone

Mario Trimarchi, an architect and designer who won the Compasso d'Oro, presents his exhibition 'Barricades' at Galleria Antonia Jannone in Milan. The show explores drawing as a tool for understanding the world, with works inspired by stones found on the shoreline. Trimarchi reproduces these stones on paper using minimal means, cataloging and transforming natural forms into sculptural designs. The concept of equilibrium is central, depicted as a dynamic tension between opposing forces. The barricade serves as a metaphor for an architecture of possibility, an eclectic structure for exchanging knowledge. Marco Sammicheli, in the exhibition catalog, describes these works as devices for commemorating and safeguarding a fragile world. The exhibition emphasizes fragility as an invitation to care and move with elegance. The pieces convey messages of hope and a return to balance.
