Paolo Grassino's Surreal Works at Eduardo Secci Gallery in Florence
The Eduardo Secci Gallery in Florence is hosting a solo exhibition of Paolo Grassino, featuring surreal works that blend natural and artificial elements. The Turin-born artist (1967) explores human condition through post-apocalyptic atmospheres, with pieces like 'Per sedurre gli insetti' where electrical cables form cocoons inhabited by insects, and 'Serie Zero' depicting faceless men who have lost their identity. 'Tumulto' is a monumental, instinctive sculpture assembled from separate works for the first time. Concurrently, the Project Room presents 'Beneath the Surface', a two-person show curated by Daniele Capra featuring Petro Matos and Konrad Wyrebek, focusing on the theme of image as trace, from wall engravings to digital transmission errors.
