Pádraig Timoney's Fractured Mirrors at Rome Exhibition
Pádraig Timoney, born in Derry in 1968, presents a solo exhibition in Rome featuring works that challenge the relationship between art and life. The show includes pieces like Mirror for Rome Obs II and Mirror for Rome Au, photographed by Daniele Molajoli. Timoney's broken mirrors contrast with Pistoletto's mirror paintings, emphasizing the incommunicability between art and life. His charcoal canvases alternate with mirrors, stripping visual perception of reflection. Works such as Re: Membranes, Thins, Pfast, and Troyglitchdite function as traces of decisions made, using photographic developer to convert latent images into visible ones. The exhibition explores ambiguity and structural ambivalence, denying the integrity of perspective.
