Roccatre Art Gallery in Turin is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition Extremes in Comparison. The exhibition will present a vast selection of works by authors ranging from ancient art to the figurative art of the twentieth century, representing different artistic styles which, when compared, manage to dialogue with each other in a sort of journey through time.
Among the artists on display, you can admire Laura Castagno with Panna Montata, a work on paper from 1965, Salvo with Tramonto ad Alba, Luigi Mainolfi with Città bronzetto from 1987 and an untitled work in terracotta-bronze from 1986, Lucio Fontana with Concetto spaziale from 1960 and Luigi Veronesi with a refined card from 1934.
A significant part of the exhibition space will also be dedicated to the depiction of women, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of female representation in art; from the curious double Nude by Italo Cremona in 1958, to the powerful and material one by Carlo Levi in 1949, to the elegant Girls in the Studio by Enrico Paulucci in 1947 ("There are painters who continue their discourse on happiness all their lives" Italo Calvino) , an extraordinary figure of a woman by Salvatore Astore from 2001 who dialogues with a very elegant figure by Irolli, a delicate bronze by Mino Rosso from 1930 depicting a motherhood. Precious and refined choices that make the exhibition itinerary unique.
The exhibition represents an unmissable opportunity for art lovers to immerse themselves in a time journey that spans centuries of artistic history.
