Art: “Imagina” opens at the Quams of Scicli on Saturday, April 1. 10 artists confront the theme of action image

Ten artists, from all over Italy, confronting each other on the “theme of the action image,” as stated by curator Antonio Sarnari, who created this project in collaboration with Florentine curator Alberto Desirò.

Five photographers and five painters offer their own reflections on the action image, which already in the title of this project has a contraction of the imperative ‘imagine’ in the less aggressive guise of a noun of the inner and fantastic world, with a ending that, on the other hand, leads back to the feminine nature of the act of evasion from reality.

Riccardo Bandiera, Valentina Biasetti, Daniele Cascone, Simone Geraci, Monserrat Diaz, Patrizia Mori, Mauro Pinotti, Cetty Previtera, Federico Severino and Stefania Orrù are the artists in the exhibition.

Languages of a high poetic narrative, weaned from petty ideologies, that brings to Scicli a confrontation on photography, historically less practiced by the Quam gallery, in which the action of the shot, or even the action on the image, show a complex and layered research. In contrast, the authors of the pictorial area, propose an evolved and sophisticated language, in which the human gesture has become abstract, ethereal and lyrical, allowing an exchange from close up. This historical contraction of distances between the languages of photography and painting allows for a real reading of affinities, but most importantly, says Antonio Sarnari, “it allows us to see the contaminations that have flowed from painting to photography and vice versa over the past fifty years.”
