The exhibition presents the researches of four artists, two of them Swedish and two Italian, whose works are characterised by a reflection upon the use of metaphors in art. In contemporary art, metaphor is the main linguistic instrument to create semantic fields and scope of thematic reflection.

The exhibition project aims at focalising the working methods of the artists selected in an exemplary and analytical manner, highlighting in each work the metaphorical instrument used and the meanings it conveys. This reflection aims at providing a double approach – method and meaning, instrument and expressive result – which is able to contribute to the understanding of the working strategies applied by the artists. If critical reflection and spectator’s eye often tend to stop mainly on the visual and expressive result achieved by the artist, On Metaphors focalises instead on the metaphorical mechanism that generated the result.

The exhibition is structured as a counterpoint making use of two different approaches, on one end the North European approach represented by the Swedish artists, which is more rigorous and analytical, on the other hand the approach of the Italian artists, more playful and fanciful.
