Filippo La Vaccara    Sep 18 - Nov 6, 2009

The paintings of Filippo La Vaccara reveal an invisible plot.

They are the representation of a quotidian mystery, that rips open the darkness and inert silence to which we seem to be associated.

Measuring the colours of light, and with its very speed, the artist extracts the fragments of a greater design:

an intuition of a disorienting mechanism of which we are but unconscious cogs.

Within this creative process, myth coexists with the freshness of a gurgling spring and an effervescent contemporaneity.

In the work of La Vaccara, his unmistakeable regard for the masters of Italian painting, combines with the spontaneity of the line

which he guides with immediacy and genuineness towards the limit of the paradox.

His approximations favour a simple but effective form of artistic communication.

Vigorous impersonations, and furtive pawings emphasise the languor of unforgettable instants.

This new series of works features, in addition to his large canvases, which all measure 2 x 2m, three unedited sculptures -

the artist will be presented by Claudia Gian Ferrari Arte Contemporanea,

which affirms its interest in the furthering of a tradition of which La Vaccara is a direct descendant, together with Galleria Massimo Carasi - The Flat

who is pleased to present its third exhibition of La Vaccara, hosting the project in the gallery's new location.

A catalogue, with a critical essay by Laura Cherubini and an interview of the artist by Marco Meneguzzo, will accompany the exhibition.

The exhibition will run until the 6 novembre 2009
