Rudy Cremonini's 'Epifania o il tempo di una sigaretta' at Galleria Francesca Antonini
Rudy Cremonini, born in Bologna in 1981, is unveiling his second solo exhibition titled 'Epifania o il tempo di una sigaretta' at Galleria Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea in Rome, inspired by a recent visit to China. The display, accompanied by a text from Damiano Gullì, explores sacred motifs on linen canvases. The 'Incarnazione' series, which pays homage to votive figures from Oriental museums, features striking deep red backgrounds and fragmented representations of deities. Additional works include an abstract landscape, a view of a tennis court, and a statue bust seen through a grate. The centerpiece, 'Il tempo di una sigaretta', depicts an empty scene, while the exhibition closes with 'Resort', showcasing vibrant liquid fields. Cremonini's approach prioritizes flow rather than control.
