Roberto Mannino's Paper Works at Spazio Atelier in Rome

Roberto Mannino (born Rome, 1958) presents 'Fluens Charta,' a solo exhibition at Spazio Atelier in Rome, featuring works made from banana fiber (abaca), hemp fiber, papyrus, and cotton paper. The show includes small monotype woodcuts on cotton and precious xylographs. The paper is treated as both surface and sculptural structure, with works like 'Vetusta' (2022) opening the exhibition. The artist incorporates copper or iron wires between cotton paper sheets, creating pieces that contract and gain translucency during drying. The exhibition is accompanied by a text by Antonella Renzitti.
