Renato Ranaldi's Playful Irony at Galleria Il Ponte, Florence
Renato Ranaldi (born Florence, 1941) explores the relationship between space and artwork. His series 'Angolari' presents suspended bridges and swings as a scenography of existential precariousness. 'Contenzioso' evolves this spatial inquiry by joining two white canvases with a greasy 'zipper' of oil colors, a conflictual point of contact that ironically challenges the concept of art. The 'Scioperii' series offers a mental flânerie through uncharted paths, translating sensations and unexpected connections onto paper, reminiscent of 16th-century grotesques and Landolfi's free thoughts. Curated by Bruno Corà, the exhibition runs until December 30, 2016, at Galleria Il Ponte, Via Di Mezzo 42b, Florence.
