PROJECT ROOM
Alessandro Diaz de Santillana-The depth must be hidden. Where? At the surface
23.05 – 15.09.2018
Continuing with exhibitions with experimental themes, the project room at Marignana Arte gallery, is a perfectly designed space to welcome the art work of Alessandro Diaz de Santillana.
Over the last ten years, the artist has studied the ancient techniques of the Venini glass dynasty which was founded in Murano in 1921 by the ‘grandfather’ Paolo Venini. Alessandro Diaz de Santillana has gone on to widen and enrich his own knowledge of the complex techniques of glass work, to “forget by heart” and translate those techniques in a lyrical and conceptual language of great intensity.
Proseguendo nella sperimentazione espositiva, la project room di Marignana Arte accoglie l’opera di Alessandro Diaz de Santillana, in un percorso appositamente pensato per lo spazio.
Discendente dalla dinastia vetraria Venini, fondata a Murano nel 1921 dal nonno Paolo Venini, l’artista ha nei decenni fatto propria la conoscenza antica e le complesse tecniche di lavorazione del vetro, per “dimenticarle a memoria” e tradurle in un linguaggio lirico e concettuale di profonda intensità.
