On Thursday, September 2nd at 19:00, the Aria Art Gallery will inaugurate its new exhibition titled “Macrocosmi” managed by Antonio d’Amico. The project, which emerges as a collabo- ration of the two artists Lorenzo Malfatti and Sergio Fortuna, is a visual journey which takes the spectator on an enchanting trip within the most hidden microcosms of the natural world. The various artistic expressions presented in the exhibition join together in a majestic spell of reflections, colors, and tones. Fortuna’s works were completed entirely within the depths of a cave, capturing those particular marble veins which closely resemble the textures crea- ted by Malfatti. The glass, the principle element of Malfatti’s pieces, joins with Fortuna’s photographic shots in their first “works by 4 hands.”
“The details are magnified and transformed right before our eyes. If for Sergio Fortuna a photograph focused on the marble walls of a crumbled cave is the instrument with which to captivate us in this visual microcosm, for Lorenzo Malfatti one finds himself with uncon- scious awareness, in front of the dream-like interpretation of feelings, where the understan- ding of a given reality does not involve immediate contact with the finished work .
The objective becomes subjective for both artistic experiences, maintaining a wave of nature’s influence that emerges from the artists’ intention to give life to a creative dialogue between interpretative uniqueness and sensorial frames of the soul embedded in the many realms of the artistic world. Painting, sculpture, photography are different languages that aim to fuse together and communicate a similar goal: free the imprisoned, primordial forces and tensions from nature and evoke them in images as fascinating as they are honest.”
