The project is grounded in four major artists of outstanding significance: Arnaldo Pomodoro, among the most internationally recognized Italian artists, whose work has redefined contemporary sculpture in a monumental and cosmic sense; Gastone Biggi, a central figure in analytical painting and perceptual research; Nanni Valentini, who transformed ceramics into an autonomous and deeply contemporary plastic language, and whose trajectory includes an important upcoming solo exhibition at the Everson Museum, in the wake of a historical recognition also initiated through the invitation of Lucio Fontana; and Tomas Rajlich, a prominent exponent of European analytical painting, whose rigorous and meditative investigation of color and surface reinforces the dialogue between structure, perception, and temporality.
Alongside them, three emerging artists establish a direct generational comparison: Chiara Crepaldi, who explores the metamorphosis of matter as a symbolic and perceptual process; Antonio Kuschnir, creator of visual cosmologies suspended between reality and fiction, marked by a strong imaginative framework; and Filippo Moroni, whose research on velvet constructs a language grounded in physical and emotional tension.
“Trame generazionali” thus takes shape as a rigorous curatorial device, in which the legacy of the masters is reactivated through engagement with contemporary practices, reaffirming ABC-ARTE’s role as a space for dialogue between historical genealogies and the languages of the present.
