works
Staff anthology edited and with introduction by Judge Del Piero
Opening Wednesday, March 23 18:30
Forty major works including paintings and pastel papers, to cover a period of work ranging from 1968 (target figures) to 2010 (Figure probable) - Mino Ceretti - 80 years, a star of the art scene in Milan - statement a life spent in search of painting, a restless activity that is proposed in unpublished works, by budget and openness. He does it in the gallery spaces Ostrakon of Milan, via Pastrengo 15, with a wide range of works that trace the path independent and original. He studied at the Brera
Aldo Carpi, along with Guerreschi, Vaglieri Romagnoni and, with their bases and characterizes the movement critical of the "existential realism" which is challenging and innovative proposal of a painting of rhetorical reality in North Italy. It was certainly a coup de theater, the exhibition of 1956 at the Centro San Fedele in Milan Kaiserlian in which George, the critic of Catholic areas, presents the new research, new preaching engagement, a group of painters (Guerreschi, waxing, Romagnoni), which is on the canvas "reality beyond the record." After a brief and passionate season unitary motion - joint exhibitions, debate policy, common document - Ceretti, along with others in the group, adopted the new international language, informal. And this creates impetus for a series of paintings of sumptuous materials shaken by a vehemence of gesture and emotional states that the "new foundation" of his relationship with reality now definitely critical. In the fifties of
"Existential realism" we wanted a reality free from ideology and policy option, against the officiating of Neorealism, and irenic dell'astrattiusmo heights. The road leads to the informal representation of a "phenomenal reality" gradually to a variety of subjects, with a multitude of appearances on the canvas that the artist constantly seeking to order. It 's the creative process that Emilio Tadini defines "explosive-implosive", the catastrophe of meaning, the universe of goods and epiphanies that the artist constantly contrasts and order on the canvas. Until the last cycle of work - Portrait probable, probable Figure, Stone - in which mass under discussion is complete, the question on painting and on his way - here, now - is radical, far to speculate as space for artistic research, as the scope of the pictorial representation mere prophecy. The search for Mino
Ceretti, existential and phenomenal results of sumptuous pictorial ideas and suggestions, is located in the European post-Marxist critical thinking - by Jean Paul Sartre to Enzo Paci - alongside literary research by Albert Camus to Louis Meneghello, by Marguerite Duras to Yourcenar in The Story of Elsa Morante, along with artists like Romagnoni and will examine the French group the "Ruche", to the European currents of "figurative criticism."
