Cerchioquadrato. Stefano Soddu e Carmine Di Roccanova, due poetiche a confronto

Curated by Paolo Bolpagni

  • Museo della Permanente - Milan (Italy)
  • 30 March 2010 - 07 April 2010

Stefano Soddu develops the “Cerchio/Circle”, Carmine Caputo di Roccanova deals with the “Quadrato/Square”.
The two artists are the main characters of the exhibition at Museo della Permanente of Milano named “CERCHIOQUADRATO. Stefano Soddu e Carmine Caputo di Roccanova, due poetiche a confronto/CIRCLESQUARE. Stefano Soddu and Carmine Caputo di Roccanova, two artistic visions compared”, from 30 March to 7 April 2010. Curated by Paolo Bolpagni, the exhibition presents about twenty works with installations, sculptures and paintings, all never seen before and created especially for this occasion.
On the occasion Soddu and Caputo di Roccanova are partners in a two-part adventure. Indeed the artistic visions of the two artists both develop from the theme of a person and his spirituality and, even though they use different means of expression, they integrate and live together in perfect harmony: the installations and the sculptures by Soddu, on the ground and on the walls, permeate the space to record the presence of man; the paintings by Caputo di Roccanova, with their colours, are the expression of his spiritual dimension. The two forms of expression, apparently in antithesis, reconnect in a substantial synthesis becoming the two sides of the same coin.
