Enzo Manara

Museum of Modern Art, Kuwait

Kuwait Museum of Modern Art presents SOLO exhibition of Italian artist Enzo Manara Genesis: Informal Universe.

Continuing the tradition of Italian art of XX century, inspired by his passion on science with the freedom to express his artistic ideas Enzo Manara proposes to discover the point of Universe’s origin. Expressive flashes of architectural forms, pure vivid colors and curves make an intensive mix that expands in the universe composed of multiple worlds. Complex of interconnections between symbols of forms and colors as symbols of themselves stimulates strong emotion and became the instrument of the revelation of the unusual experiences that artist has achieved.

The deepest concept performed behind geometric or informal shapes of different materials gives an access to the dimension of abstract art. Bordered with color-field painting and hard-edge art these pieces evolved in the suggestive and evocative three dimensional artworks with gradually growing expressions where artist depicts the rhythm and the pulse of the cosmic space. The reflection about the colors and the intention to create a correct background to perform the central part of artwork with elaborated surfaces merges in suprematism He chooses black as the color obtained by overlapping, as color of cosmic depth and absence of the light, red as energy and metallic parts signifies solar presence which was important to the origin of our life, but remind to the ancient practices with the gold in alchemy.

Such conceptual elitism’s aim to encourage the viewer to complicit artist’s reflection that has a philosophical meaning especially in the final part of his project with pieces The birth of Man and Adam & Eve.

Rebuidling the chronology of the beginning of everything artist appeals to the collective memory through his individual experience, choose to identify his art objects not only with single content but with the whole space in the terms of one installation. Each piece is a study, towards an abstract reflection about the Cosmo creation, the primary substances aggregation and the origin of `sensu vitae` with almost meditative quality.

Exhibition contains 27 artworks dating from 2008 to2011
