The exhibition is the result of a long and continuous dialogue, begun two years ago, between the artist Luca Pignatelli and Francesco Paolo Campione, curator of the exhibition and director of MUSEC, conducted on a dialectical thread that united memories and reflections directly aroused by the works, books, photographs and objects that fill and animate the Milanese artist’s large atelier. The exhibition presents forty-nine works, most of them previously unpublished, of large dimensions, made from large portions of disused railway tarpaulins, spliced, sewn, perforated, burnt, and then painted and worked with inserts of various kinds. A material exhausted and further reduced to the bare minimum to give back, according to the expressive modalities of abstraction, the flavour of a universe constructed from a multiplicity of meanings.
