Stefano Arienti's Meridiane 2020 at The Drawing Hall
Stefano Arienti, born in Asola in 1961, is showcasing 'Meridiane 2020' at The Drawing Hall in Bergamo. This exhibition features new pieces from a series that began in 2012, which was previously exhibited at Museo di Villa Croce in Genoa in 2017. Utilizing various techniques on kraft paper or fresco surfaces, Arienti illustrates the sun's trajectory. Curator Ilaria Bernardi emphasizes that drawing serves as a means for Arienti to explore reality. Created during the lockdown of 2020, these works express a longing for nature. The exhibition also includes preparatory sketches for specific projects in Lombardy. A Quaderno di approfondimento will be released, and on May 3, a screening of Marco Marcassoli's 'Meridiane 2020' will take place, with the next exhibition scheduled for June 10.
