Una curatela di Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager presso Galerie Lo Scalo – Doors have long captivated artists as powerful symbols of transition and transformation, inviting us to contemplate what lies beyond. This theme resonates deeply, evoking a myriad of meanings—from opportunity and new beginnings to secrecy and the unknown. A door can represent a threshold between two worlds, whether physical or metaphorical, prompting reflections on passage, memory, and the human journey. In art history, particularly from the 20th century, doors have been explored with great psychological depth. The Surrealists, in particular, used them to delve into the subconscious, as seen in works like René Magritte’s The False Mirror, where a keyhole reveals a clouded sky, or Marcel Duchamp’s Door, 11 Rue Larrey, which challenged the very function of an object. The theme also appears in Salvador Dalí's work, where doors often open to dreamscapes. This collection explores the enduring power of the door as a motif, celebrating its rich symbolism as a portal to diverse artistic visions.
