- Marco Tirelli
Eduardo Secci Gallery is pleased to present the exhibitions “Marco Tirelli” and Radu Oreian” that will be inaugurated on January 23rd at 2 pm in the two areas of the Gallery in Piazza Carlo Goldoni 2, Florence. The Roman artist’ solo show will be curated by Alberto Fiz and will last until March 6.
On the occasion of Tirelli’s first exhibition in the Florentine gallery, the artist presents a series of new works created during the months of the lockdown. The works are proposed in three spaces through a sophisticated installation that creates a strong emotional involvement. The exhibition gives rise to a crescendo that leads to an installation of 12 frameless canvases of different sizes arranged on the wall. Conceived in this way, the show is characterized by the parallelism with the great project that Tirelli created for the 2013 Venice Biennale.
In this last series of works Tirelli, one of the most significant artists of the contemporary scene, questions the regenerative power of the image on the basis of an investigation that appears to be particularly relevant in today’s society, where the flow of media seems to have subtracted value to every form of iconography by trivializing the message. Tirelli, on the contrary, recovers the primary meaning of the image by subjecting it each time to the verification of the paint in a way that does not duplicate reality but transforms it.
As Alberto Fiz explains, “Tirelli creates a laboratory of the image and imagination without any hierarchy that arises from the desire to recover the essence of the visible”. His repertoire is very vast and includes symbols, naturalistic elements, bodies, geographical maps, objects for observing space, fragments of the sky according to a continuous work in progress where the subject is functional to a process of psychic and physical re-appropriation: ” Painting is the tool that allows me to bring ideas back to the concreteness of the hand “, says Tirelli who wonders about the very material of which the images are made. As part of the exhibition, the succession of his works offers the visitor a continuous rediscovery of a reality that is eventually returning to be perceived.
