Mario Trimarchi's 'Clouds as Prayers' at Paula Seegy Gallery
At the Paula Seegy Gallery in Milan, Mario Trimarchi showcases his exhibition 'Clouds as Prayers,' featuring twenty ink drawings in black and white on paper, six metal sculptures, and two illuminated shelves. These pieces delve into the symbolism of cloud shapes, representing both hope and uncertainty, with sculptures reaching upwards to explore the unknown. Trimarchi likens drawing clouds to yielding to a soft oblivion, reflecting on vapors that transform into ephemeral prayers amid conflict and calamity. The drawings incorporate elements of memories such as shells, vases, leaves, doves, and angels. Notable works include 'Prayer for the Return Journey,' 'Prayer for What Remains,' and 'Prayer for Next Spring.' Photography by Fabio Viganò.
