Our Paradise
The gallery will be transformed in a Earthly Paradise, thanks to the work of
the artist Margherita Leoni, “Paradiso Terrestre”, an installation of
Digital Art on canvas, that will cover the walls of the gallery's entry room,
creating the illusion of entering in the Garden of Eden.
Margherita Leoni's work is the result of 10 years spent in the Brazilian Jungle
painting on watercolor the flowers and plants surrounding her and now
recomposed, overlapped, joint and often exaggerated in proportions to emphasize
the nature's importance and uniqueness, as an indispensable part of our life.
We live in a potentially paradisiac World, very rich in life, but we quite
often forget it.
The paradisiac sensation in the show is reinforced by the presence of the
surreal and mystical Creatures by Frauke Danzer, which are evidently coming
from outer worlds, in virtue of their purity and sincerity, they look like
being the natural inhabitant of the Garden of Even.
In the meanwhile the illustrations and photography by Luisa Catucci and Pia
Fernandez with a most recognizable use of classical iconography will finish to
accompany the visitors in this Paradise's trip.
Trip showing also the other side of the coin: dropping from Even.
An apple is picked. Fire has burned. A natural reserve becomes an expanse of
smoking coal. Angels are falling.
A video, testifying the natural disaster of the burning of the Emas Parque in
Brazil; paintings made out the coal, remaining of the earthly Paradise that was
before; illustrations and installations remembering us how precarious can be
Our Paradise, if we keep acting as we do not care.
