Artist’s Proof. Experimentations across graphics, sign and colour

The group exhibition curated by Susanna Zatti and Francesca Porreca gives a prominent position to the “artist’s proof”, the moment of experimentation that precedes the creation of art: that intermediate phase between the idea and the finished work.
The artists, each one with about ten of his/her works on display, are: Alessandra Angelini, Monica Anselmi, Giovanna Fra, Rossana Schiavo, Teresa Sdralevich and Ada Eva Verbena.
Consequently on display there are about 60 works among which many never seen before pieces, the result of recent experimentation, accompanied by drawings, projects and videos which record the different preparatory phases. On the occasion the visitors can admire graphic works made by different techniques: xylographies, linoleum cuts, copper engravings, serigraphs, etchings, frottages, monotype prints, as well as artist’s books.
In this exhibition Alessandra Angelini proposes some never seen before “artist’s proofs”, which belong to graphics, a way of expression she often approached during her career. There is also taken a deeper look at the experimentation and research work towards pigments and colour, in this particular case concentrating on the usage of vibrant luminescent colours.
