Pino Pinelli's Rare Ceramics on View in a Trullo in Puglia
In Milan, the Dep Art Out Gallery is showcasing a summer exhibition featuring ceramic pieces by Pino Pinelli (born Catania, 1938), set in a trullo located in Ceglie Messapica, Puglia, under the curation of Lorenzo Madaro. This marks the gallery's third event for the Puglian season. Antonio Addamiano, the founder, characterizes the venue as "a bit wild" yet distinctive, having previously hosted five evenings focused on different artists. Pinelli's ceramics, adorned in gold, white, and silver, contrast beautifully with the stone walls, embodying his quest to capture the essence of painting. His 1976 "fracture" of painting, deemed "revolutionary" by Filiberto Menna, redefines traditional notions by merging background and space within his art, highlighting his pursuit of innovation.
