After researching on artistic cross-contamination of metropolitan life and on contemporary artistic expressivity, the gallery Spazio Gianni Testoni La 2000+45, creates a collective exhibition of artists working on comics, graphics and illustration.
The close relationship between “Art” and “comics” and the, sometimes hidden, exchanges between these two fields, cross each others, inside this collective work, within gallery’s rooms.
An union between different expressive modality is made possible only thanks to their variety, their continuous transformation, and to vivacity of tools and messages they want to represent.
Comic artist Vanna Vinci and architect and designer Laura Villani show a preview of drawings and designs for a landscape of domestic and daily objects (furniture, stationary’s elements, little items of clothing), full by our partners in adventure, which combines the piercing irony of their characters.
Paper-Resistance, with his decisive and accurate mark presents an inedited collection of illustrations representing several range of masks. Stout framed protection masks, used in different sport, from hockey to football.
Researching on the dimensions of the fantastic and the grotesque and on the dynamics of metropolitan contexts represent those styles and techniques able to describe the pluralism of Signora K’s art.
Her art goes from canvas painted with oil paints, all but shade of white and black, to the art of comics with “La casa dei pozzi”. The fil rouge is the theme of the place. Peripheral places of the city, unsettling and intriguing, real and imaginary places at the same times.
Nora Krug represents narration through images. Her illustrations were born thanks to her studies and her experiences in Germany, England and United States, where she now works as illustrator and animation artist in New York City. Her decisive mark and strong shades recall, at first sight, the strong expressivity of early ‘900 german art.
Poilacartabrucia presents its concept of drawing and illustration, attaching importance to the making of the work. This concept is clearly visible through its works, whose composing layers are easily readable. Faces and objects represented by Policartabrucia are X-rayed and people can get a glipse of their composing elements: other moving human faces, details of city places and natural landscapes. Materials stratifying themselves one upon another too: paper, ink and plexiglass.
