Pier Giorgio De Pinto's Venetian Blinds at Raucci/Santamaria Milan

Pier Giorgio De Pinto (b. 1968, Civitavecchia) presents 'Through a Venetian Blind Glass' at Raucci/Santamaria Studio Project in Milan. The exhibition features watercolors on cotton paper juxtaposing views from the Whitney Museum terrace in New York with Venetian scenes from the Bacino di San Marco, capturing specific light and temperature conditions. The works are part of an analog remix process: De Pinto photographs, prints at home, transfers to paper at a different scale, and recopies to enhance instantaneity, creating deliberate imperfections. The title references Gertrude Stein's 'Tender Buttons' and the concept of 'blind glass'—an object that is what it is yet carries multiple symbolic meanings. De Pinto, a multimedia and AI experimenter, here returns to the hand of the maker, questioning vision as an inexhaustible artistic process. The show includes portraits of Murano glass objects posed like Venetian nobility.
