Francesco Clemente

MOCA at Goldman Warehouse, Miami

Clemente exhibition, the Goldman Warehouse embarks on its independent exhibition program. The Clemente exhibition is presented in partnership with Deitch Projects.

Francesco Clemente spent more then a year creating A History of the Heart in Three Rainbows, a remarkable 180 foot long suite of large scale watercolor paintings. The work continues the artist's ongoing project of transforming spiritual life experience into art.

For Clemente, the rainbow is a bridge, a structure to bring things together, like religion in its original sense. The rainbow represents the necessity to connect different worlds. The translucence of the rainbow connects with the translucence of watercolor. The rainbow unmasks the nature of light and watercolor brings the light out of paper. In watercolor, the artist does not build the highlights – they are the parts the artist does not touch. The light is behind the paint.

A History of the Heart in Three Rainbows was first exhibited at Deitch Projects in New York in May 2009. The exhibition is accompanied by a book with an essay by Noble Prize winning author Derek Walcott. A retrospective exhibition of the work of Francesco Clemente was presented MADRE, the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina in Naples last summer. Last year Clemente was commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera to create a series of eight portraits of the leading sopranos. An exhibition of these works was presented at Gallery Met during the summer of 2008.
