Paolo Tait's 'Peripheries. The Wall of Democracy' at Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli

The exhibition 'Peripheries. The Wall of Democracy' features Paolo Tait's monumental work 'The Wall of Democracy,' made of copper and enamel, intended for a public peripheral space. Curated by Roberta Semeraro, the show highlights Tait's 'Bestiario'—zoomorphic figures that have populated his graphic production for over forty years, rendered on paper and wood. Tait, born in Mezzolombardo in 1952, describes himself as an artisan of making rather than an inspired artist, and his works are displayed in the Renaissance courtyard of the Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli in Venice, contrasting harsh geometries with soft column lines. The exhibition runs until September 30, 2016.
