Renato Mambor. Borrowing from the Infinite

Curated by Achille Bonito Oliva

  • Castel Sant’Elmo - Napoli
  • 14 February 2009 - 30 March 2009

The evocative anthological exhibition hosts seventy works from the ’50s to today, among which several never seen before pieces made especially for this occasion.
Since the beginning of his artistic career at the end of the Fifties, Renato Mambor uses an “a-subjective” form of expression which aims, according to the artist’s own words, to “take the ‘I’ off the painting”, and thus he outdoes the exasperated subjectivism of Informal art, devising repeated modules which, however, vary through different techniques, themes and subjects. This theme recurs through the whole exhibition which presents works related to each other in a constant research on the ways of perception, finding out the disrupting variable inside consistent patterns.
