Vettor Pisani's Trans-Categorical Art at Cardi Gallery Milan
Cardi Gallery in Milan presents a retrospective of Vettor Pisani (Bari, 1934 – Rome, 2011), an artist who challenges categorical systems. Pisani's work transgresses boundaries between art, literature, philosophy, and science, using a layered iconography to build a multidimensional symbolic universe. He references figures from Descartes to Charlotte Corday to Freud, and places from the Campidoglio to Capri and Ischia. His art reinterprets past works, deconstructing thoughts, definitions, and aesthetics to propose new foundations. The exhibition emphasizes the impossibility of fixed categories and the openness of trans-categorization.
