Titina Maselli's Urban Abstraction at Querini Stampalia
A solo exhibition of Titina Maselli (Rome, 1924–2005) is on view at Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, curated by Chiara Bertola with support from Galleria Massimo Minini. The show highlights Maselli's abstract, Futurist- and Pop-influenced paintings that capture urban surfaces through grids of intense colors—vermillion, fuchsia, blue, yellow—and optical effects. Works in oil and acrylic, such as the large-scale 'Metro,' create a third dimension through intersecting lines and signs, revealing figures like a footballer emerging from a forest of marks or a skyscraper facade. The exhibition runs through an unspecified date in 2016.
