A curation by Raffaella Nobili, Owner and curator at Paraventi Giapponesi - The selection of works focuses on the relationship and synthesis between opposites. Gold, like frozen light, pierces the darkness and finds unexpected ways of reconciling it. Shadow, for its part, does not appear as an expressive void, but rather as a necessary space of stillness and suspension, capable of providing breathing space for the artistic event to materialize. The tension between the two poles is sometimes generated either through stark contrast or merely hinted at in a nuanced and gradual manner, facilitating the emergence of an atmosphere of mystery and revelation.
