Bagarotto and Mazzoni: When it becomes more studio – Arte.it

Sunday, September 21, 2024, from 3 p.m.Historical House of the director of Villa De Sanctis in Colle di ToraIn the province of Rieti, it is re -converted into a stage for contemporary art. View of Lake Turano, the house – which has been organized for eight years the artist’s residence that has been promoted by the Cultural Association of the Casa of the director in collaboration with Andante Editore – celebrates the last appointment of the season with an exhibition that has become an autumn trit for the village and creators that are being drawn up.

This year the dialogue is entrusted to two strong and additional personalities: Massimo Bagarotto one Diego Mazzoni” Called by the curator Luca Arnaudo to measure himself with the hung silence of the lake And with the stories in the walls of the villa. For weeks the two artists worked side by side and left wind, light and silence conductors and chisels. He was born An unexpected interdependence between painting and sculptureA path that collects the short -lived presence of the place and returns to new shapes and colors.

Bagarotto, Venetian from 1958 and for years a prominent figure of the Roman stage, brings a wealth of experiences that varies from painting to scenography. His research, fed by an extreme sensitivity to everything that lives, crosses the entire spectrum of human emotions: paintings of intense drama interspersed with work of clear lightness. For Massimo, art is a way to be in the world and communicating humanity: the artist likes to violate in other media – from sculpture to interior architecture interventions – in a constant dialogue with space.

Next to him, Diego Mazzoni (Rome, 1965) brings a practice that unites music, painting and sculpture in a single poetic study. His gaze, alerted to the dreamy dimension and an ecology of the creative gesture, recently translated into the artist book Old dreams (Andante, 2024) and in a staff in the Atelier Gallery in Rome.

Sunday’s exhibition is an opportunity to meet the two protagonists and cross their worlds: a comparison with two parts in which different materials and languages ​​touch and respond, so that the lake and the villa are not only a background, but also a true creative complicit. For those who love art who have dialogues with the landscape, the appointment of Colle di Tora is an invitation to be surprised.
