exhibition · 2026-08-14

In Soave, Veneto, Italian artist Sergio Padovani showcases 'Le Croci incomplete' (The Incomplete Crosses), an exhibition that delves into the absurd theater of human life by merging the sacred with the secular. Through a 'deformed lens,' Padovani's art exposes the folly, drama, and grotesqueness inherent in existence, emphasizing the connections between disparate actions and relationships. The title invites reflection on the incomplete nature of human ambition and the sacred amidst the ordinary. Organized by Artuu, the exhibition challenges traditional views of reality, revealing humanity's desires, fears, and small miracles. It embodies Padovani's distinctive outlook, suggesting that a touch of madness is necessary to see the world as a rich tapestry of meaning.
