Simone Cametti's Light and Material Exploration at Galleria Francesca Antonini
Simone Cametti (Rome, 1982) presents an exhibition at Galleria Francesca Antonini in Rome, curated by Lorenzo Balbi. The show explores the relationship between nature and artifice through light, specifically at 4500 Kelvin—the peak of natural visibility. A central installation occupies the space between infrared and ultraviolet radiation, translating these extremes into colors that coat Carrara marble and enhance its veining. The series 'Splendid Gold' blurs boundaries between painting, installation, sculpture, and design, focusing on the physical properties of granite and its unique structure. The gallery is open by appointment, with an online viewing room available due to COVID-19 restrictions.
