Gianfranco Ferroni. Percorsi recenti. Una città per l'arte

The Council of Milan - Culture and Entertainment Dep. in cooperation with the Mudima and Antonio Mazzotta Foundations presents 50 paintings and 25 etchings, made from 1973 to 1995 by Gianfranco Ferroni. It is the first big exhibition that the city of Milan has organized about this important representative of Italian figurative painting, who was born in Leghorn (1927) but then adopted by Milan.
The exhibition is characterized by the particular selection of the works which favours the creations from around 1973 to today, and it is based on the interest towards the most pure points of painting meant as the analysis of the relation among the elements of light, space and sign in conjunction with psychological events and memory, with an inner "tale", which for the artist become the key to reading our existential condition.
