The exhibition of paintings "Un-known", where Roman Đuranović, Vesko Gagović and Gordana Kuč from Montenegro, and Davide Serpeti and Riccardo Gusmaroli from Italy will present their works, and which is curated by Vincenzo Maccarone, will be opened in the gallery "Mc2gallery ” in Tivat, tomorrow at 18.30:XNUMX p.m.
"'Un-known' is a path between two opposite aesthetic models, a topic of reflection on art for more than a century. 'Known' or 'Known' represents what is recognizable in the world around us and is immediately understood", said curator Makarone about the exhibition, and then looked at the works and artists that are represented.
"The figurative painting of Davide Serpetti (Italy, 1990) in fact through its modern heroes, often famous, leads the viewers to identify themselves within his narratives. Serpeti builds a more instinctive, animalistic and wild world around the hero, an indelible memory of his adolescence spent in the countryside of Abruzzo. Even the artist Roman Đuranović (Montenegro, 1969) uses human figures as the central theme of his work, and he examines the relationship between men and women in his storytelling. The installation is presented as if it were a comic book, a kind of story proposed in small visual fragments. Riccardo Gusmaroli (Italy, 1963) reproduces imaginary journeys along impossible routes with his swirls of paper boats, which are the result of associations, feelings and connections originating from the same materials. Calculated musicality is represented by waves of folded paper in the form of objects related to the theme of travel, where the research moves from the concept of lightness to the relationship of light and shadow, full and empty, action and no action", he says and adds that "UN" (negation - "no") what is not immediately perceived is the expression of concepts and ideas, with an often incomprehensible aesthetic result.
"The famous artist Gordana Kuč (Montenegro, 1970) bases her work on the concept of identity. All her works have their own uniqueness, just like people, and in each of them we can recognize the desire for life or self-destruction, eros and thanatos. With his monochromes, the minimalist Vesko Gagović (Montenegro, 1963) analyzes contemporary society through its status symbols. Geometric works painted in the most conventional pictorial language allude to abstract painting as an expression of high modernism, analytically studying the chromatic aspect. In the project 'Odyssey', presented at the 58th Venice Biennale, the artist was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's film '2001: A Space Odyssey', and the project turns illusion into reality. The monolith has represented the highest human ideal since ancient times, which has always been a source of inspiration to reach the limits, defying the law of gravity, rising towards the heavenly peaks of the human spirit," wrote exhibition curator Vincenzo Macarone.
