A reinterpretation of Tema e Variazioni
S/OGGETTI PARZIALI
The face of Fornasetti's muse is manipulated, broken up, cracked and then recreated by the artist Carlo Dell’Acqua as he re-assembles the fragments. It is a procedure that might appear sacrilegious with regard to the Atelier's most iconic series, but which stems from an invitation, a creative challenge launched by the Artistic Director himself, Barnaba Fornasetti, and by Valeria Manzi, co-curator of cultural projects.
A CONTINUOUSLY EVOLVING SERIES
Porcelains of different formats portraying Lina Cavalieri find new life in a process of regeneration of the work of art that arises from the fragmentation of matter and identity in line with Carlo Dell’Acqua’s artistic practice.
