CARLO
REA
april 29th - july 12th 2014
The artistic career of Carlo Rea has developed
over a period of twenty-five years through a series of intense experiences
which have led him from music to visual arts. Following a passionate meditative
phase lasting several years, and after the procedural elaboration of a
linguistic pattern that satisfied his needs, this is his first important
solo exhibition in Italy representing a coherent nucleus of various works
realized in different periods, and which fully delineate the artist’s
profound authentic aesthetic processes and his multifarious character
traits.
The exhibition presents a repertory of works, the products of sensitive
research and painstaking discipline which pinpoint the path of a highly
personal inedited idiom, full of innovation and links with the traditions
of both music and the plastic arts. Rea’s experience – especially
during recent years – seems drawn to the representation of the fluctuation
of matter, intended as physical and metaphysical space, while suggesting
a constant impermanence of the things that surround us and the concept
of an all-permeating instability.
In his music as well as in his drawings, paintings and plastic works,
notions of instantaneousness and continuity are at the centre of his investigation,
which finds the ideal vehicles for their visualization in the use of materials
such as gauze, ceramics or plaster.
The exhibition therefore presents monochromatic surfaces set on gauze
where the stratification of the parts or their twisting produce horizons
of plastic continuity: works of plaster and ceramics set in space by the
artist, who often uses them as instruments to produce surprising sonorities..
