Through the appropriation of a vast repertoire of symbols and visual signs, and resorting to the world of childhood and a playful, free-ranging imagination, Ontani builds a veritable universe of his own of which he is himself the author and actor. The exhibition is formed of a broad range of works that reveal and reconstruct the Italian artist\u2019s entire creative process: from the historic series of photos with applied watercolour, realised in India in the 1970s, which includes his <em>Acquaiolo<\/em> (<em>Water-bearer<\/em>) and<em> Davide e Golia<\/em> (<em>David and Goliath<\/em>), both of 1976, and his more recent lenticular light-boxes, such as <em>Nara Garuda Singh<\/em>, 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The selection also includes some of the ceramic herms, a number of colour photographs, including <em>Pinocchio<\/em> and <em>Dante<\/em> of 1973, which look forward to the theme of cultured re-reading and transvestism, the wooden masks made in Bali, and <em>Millearti<\/em> (1985), a historic work of papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9. The exhibition will also display some watercolours, photographs called <em>Grottesche<\/em>, and some new works inspired by the city of Turin, made especially for this occasion.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition, which has been planned with the artist himself, will in spring be hosted at the Kunsthalle in Berne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>curated by Andrea Bellini As part of the Le scatole viventi \/ The Living Boxes project, the Castello di Rivoli is pleased to present a one-man exhibition by Luigi Ontani: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27301,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101177","mostra","type-mostra","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
