The artistic research of Emilio Vedova (Venice, 1919-2006), beginning in the \u2018Thirties with his defense of Abstraction his participation in the \u201cNew Front for the Arts,\u201d moves through the experimentations of the \u2018Fifties and \u2018Sixties, up to his ethical and formal exploration of the emotional urgency of painting. He moreover interprets the tension that is central for European Art Informel and American Abstract Expressionism.<\/p>\n
Vedova addresses the reciprocal tension between the physical dimension of the canvas and the existential dimension, between the realm of the work and the relationship with the world beyond the work, providing keys for a new type of interpenetration among painting, sculpture, architecture and the environment, resulting in new formal hypotheses.<\/p>\n
The artist organizes his exhibition in the spaces of Castello di Rivoli as a strongly unified path, where it is the very irregularity of the elements \u2013 beginning with the pictorial surfaces, superimposed among each other or resting on the building\u2019s structural elements \u2013 that becomes the organizing principle, in a spatial continuum between the work and the viewer\u2019s glance. The adoption of mobile structures, the enveloping nature of the two-sided paintings and the inclusion of three-dimensional objects evoke a suspended theatrical production. The fecund, \u201cmultiple\u201d nature of the work, the precarious but constant perspectival equilibrium in the perception and experience of the works and the exhibition in its totality suggests, in the often dramatic tones of a witness to contemporary history, a transformation of the exhibition space that might characterize the radical redefinition of painting on the part of subsequent generations.<\/p>\n
