The widespread exhibition "Plastic Reflections" is not a simple exhibition but a real dialogue between some emblematic places in the town of Cannobio and the three-dimensional works of Corrado Bonomi and Gianni Cella. The two international artists, with a long and rich exhibition curriculum, are interpreters of a post-conceptualism...
Material determines the forms of art. Inevitably, one would say, indirectly and naturally, it would be more correct to say. Over the centuries, in addition to consolidated techniques and traditional materials, artists have always experimented with new techniques and materials...
"Why wake up" is a joint, four-handed project that was born for the exhibition held at the Mannheimer Kunstverein Martin Stather in 2006 and revived in 2007 for the homonymous exhibition at the Gattinara Arte ed Altro Gallery. For the Ancient Washhouse it was further developed by involving two of the four...
Bonomi has arranged his Cultures in the Court of Palazzo Mandamentale, the entrance of which will be embellished with its own Rose Garden that unfolds along the walls of the entrance hall. They are works, part of a cycle begun in 1992, which reproduce plants and flowers built with gardening objects, saucers...
Also from Cella, Caos Primigenio occupies an entire rough concrete wall inside a square courtyard in via Umberto I. It is a "collection" of faces with different morphologies, but painted with the same colors (dominant is red), randomly arranged as if they were cells immersed in a sort of primordial soup caught...
In the gardens of the Palazzo Comunale there are two sculptures by Cella. The first consists of two figures of Carl Marx superimposed vertically in a beautiful bright red. A simple operation of doubling and dislocating forms makes us discover the existence of other "Marx Brothers", in addition to those we already knew...
The installations by Bonomi and Cella fully enter the urban context, transforming some well-known and obvious-looking places into surprising realities full of stimuli and new visions. "Matter determines the forms of art", and this is true in all senses because the visible surface...
The studies and paper sketches that the two artists made to verify the imagined installations in the real urban context can be defined as "finished works". With different languages, the artists have created drawings that tell their own planning in dealing with the Cannobio places...
Gianni Cella and Corrado Bonomi embrace the demystifications placed at the center of the post-modern debate, without giving up the construction of meaning: if the era of "great narratives" is over, "small narratives" are powerful antibodies to the risk of self-referentiality and to the artist's vision as the chosen one "in an Ivory Tower".
