Rosso e Grigio: Materiality and Perception in a Verona Group Show

At Galleria Studio La Città in Verona, the exhibition 'Rosso e Grigio,' curated by art historian Marco Meneguzzo, showcases the work of eighteen artists specializing in clay (rosso) and cement (grigio). Conceived by Hélène De Franchis, the gallery's founder, the exhibition features a diverse array of artists from various backgrounds, cultures, and age groups. Among those highlighted are Luca Caccioni, Luigi Carboni, Sonia Delaunay, Lucio Fontana, and Jessica Stockholder, among others. The spacious and bright venue enhances the minimalist aesthetic of the display. A reflective cement slab by Alberto Garutti greets visitors, while Emil Lukas's 'Water Study' concludes the show, integrating environmental elements into the artwork. This exhibition addresses a renewed post-pandemic craving for visual engagement and intellectual exploration.
