David Tremlett. If walls could talk

The solo exhibition of Davis Tremlett “Se i muri potessero parlare/If walls could talk” launches the exhibition season at the new venue of the City Gallery of Contemporary Art of Trento.
The exhibition, curated by Vittoria Coen and Nicoletta Pallini, has been planned and made by Tremlett on site and it represents an important and double occasion for Trento. The artist has, in fact, been working for years creating a strong and direct bond with space, through works made according the pastel technique and the pigment spread over the whole surface by the palm of his hand. He is known to the public for his Wall Drawings, drawings and paintings made directly on the walls of museums, galleries and private spaces. Each time his work is thus devised according to the site that will host it. In addition to the never seen before Wall Drawings, the exhibition documents the most significant research of the last seven years, with nine drawings on paper, a series of painted wooden sculptures, a video showing the process of creation of the Wall Drawings and seven scale models of wood and painted paper made for previous events.
