In Ginocchio da te, Museo Casa Natale di Michelangelo Buonarroti

FERRUCCIO GARD - IN GINOCCHIO DA TE 

 

La nuova esposizione di Ferruccio Gard, organizzata da Cris Contini Contemporary, sarà ospitata al Museo Casa Natale di Michelangelo Buonarroti a Castello di Caprese, un luogo denso di richiami artistici in cui l’artista si presenta con un immenso rispetto che traspare già dal titolo della personale ‘In ginocchio da te’.

 

L’artista, uno dei massimi rappresentanti dell’arte cinetica, ricorda che ‘quando, mezzo secolo fa, ho visitato la Cappella Sistina, mi sono inginocchiato realmente, tanta era l’ammirazione, sino alla commozione, per i meravigliosi capolavori di un genio della storia dell’arte mondiale. L’emozione di esporre le mie opere, che davanti a lui sono microbi, farà balzare a mille i battiti del mio cuore. Sto per entrare in un tempio, il tempio della stupenda immensità michelangiolesca. Su tavoli e pareti ci saranno le mie sculture e i miei quadri. Ma io, con le lacrime agli occhi per la commozione, sarò in ginocchio. In ginocchio da te’.

 

Nella mostra, visitabile dal 17 giugno al 17 agosto, sarà possibile ammirare più di venti opere sia pittoriche che scultoree che spaziano dall’arte cinetica, passando per l’optical fino ad arrivare a manifestazioni astratto-cinetiche. 

Il colore, la geometria e la luce, assoluti protagonisti dell’alfabeto artistico del maestro - vengono celebrati da Gabriele Mazzi - Direttore Scientifico del Museo - ‘il colore vive la sua gioia attraverso le composte linee di Ferruccio Gard. Geometria e luce che hanno un certo fascino non discreto, direi plateale nell’opera di Gard. La luce, concetto che nell’espressione pittorica è alla base della composizione di qualsiasi tempo e luogo, è comune alla percezione della solidità scultorea di montagne e boschi di Castello di Caprese’.

 

Le creazioni di Ferruccio Gard si inseriscono in questo luogo delle emozioni sperimentando le infinite possibilità della percezione visiva.

FERRUCCIO GARD - KNEELING BEFORE YOU 

 

The new exhibition by Ferruccio Gard, organized by Cris Contini Contemporary, will be hosted at the Michelangelo Buonarroti's Birthplace Museum in Castle of Caprese, a place full of artistic references in which the artist presents himself with immense respect that already transpires from the title of the personal 'Kneeling before you'. 

 

The artist, one of the greatest representatives of kinetic art, remembers that 'When, half a century ago, I visited the Sistine Chapel, I really knelt down, such was the admiration, up to the emotion, for the marvelous masterpieces of a genius of the history of world art. The thrill of exhibiting my works, which are microbes in front of him, will make my heart leap to a thousand. I am about to enter a temple, the temple of Michelangelo's stupendous immensity. On the tables and walls there will be my sculptures and my paintings. But I, with tears in my eyes from emotion, will be on my knees. Kneeling before you'.

 

In the exhibition, open from June 17 to August 17, it will be possible to admire more than twenty works, both pictorial and sculptural, ranging from kinetic art, through optical up to abstract-kinetic manifestations. Color, geometry and light, absolute protagonists of the master's artistic alphabet - are celebrated by Gabriele Mazzi - Scientific Director of the Museum - 'Color lives its joy through the composed lines of Ferruccio Gard. Geometry and light that have a certain non-discreet charm, I would say blatant in Gard's work. Light, a concept that in the pictorial expression is the basis of the composition of any time and place, is common to the perception of the sculptural solidity of the mountains and woods of Castello di Caprese '.

 

Ferruccio Gard's creations fit into this place of emotions by experimenting with the infinite possibilities of visual perception.
