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..
