According to writer and German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg: “Although it may be complete, the union of two souls leaves differences that make pleasant conversation”. Knows Mathelda Balatresi that, until May 10, will be in the Apartment Historic Royal Palace of Naples (southern branch Ambulatory) with the exhibition “Dialogue”.
The exhibition, curated by Patrizia Di Maggio, starring a group of new works designed and created ad hoc by the native of Carcare, in the province of Savona, to the Royal Palace: 24 drawings and 8 oil paintings on canvas, which develop the theme of the dialogue between two or three parties. The sheets emphasize the importance of drawing as an expressive medium privileged, perhaps in memory of Tuscan origin, or training in the Academy, and are characterized by the minimum, calculated use of ink when it comes to shape and life to delicate faces and sometimes for a painstaking application to make thread by thread hair paintings, four diptychs with a man and a woman each as protagonists, made in the same range of gray , are enriched with light touches of color. The Balatresi presents in this cycle a world of intentions and looks: his figures, smiling, naughty, surprises, thoughtful, corrucciate suggest dialogues, sometimes missed but always sought, among those women (and men) from the eyes long, that conversing with each other and listen.
