Andrea Barin in dialogo

After a period of exhibition silence, Andrea Barin returns to the gallery with a new body of work that marks a shift from monochrome to color without, however, rejecting his past work. This new direction merges with his previous work. The shift is not merely formal but also conceptual, reflecting a renewed relationship with memory and time.

These recent works focus on the representation of intimate and intimate spaces: artist studio interiors, artworks, and everyday objects, places charged with visual and emotional layers. In these spaces, he portrays works by historicized twentieth-century masterspaintings, sculptures, and fragments, sometimes from his own collection. This is not a simple visual cataloging exercise; what happens during the creation of the work is a process of appropriation, in which painting becomes the tool for understanding, analyzing, and ultimately "owning" these images.

This exhibition, therefore, marks a return that is also a new beginning.
