The Paolo VI Collection in Concesio is set to host a new and stimulating exhibition dedicated to the Veronese artist Davide Maria Coltro. Titled “Beyond the Surface: Media Abstraction Practices,” the exhibition will be inaugurated on October 19 at 5:00 PM, representing a significant opportunity for art enthusiasts and the local public.
Inauguration Details
The event will feature notable figures from the artistic and cultural scene. Among the speakers will be Don Giuliano Zanchi, the current Director of the Paolo VI Collection, Marisa Paderni, the curator of the exhibition, and Davide Maria Coltro himself. The meeting will provide an opportunity to gain deeper insights into the exhibited works and the artist’s creative process.
Theme of the Exhibition
“Beyond the Surface” is an exhibition that marks the debut of Coltro’s recent works in the Brescia context, delving into the theme of Media Abstraction. This innovative approach combines traditional visual elements with contemporary technologies, reflecting an artistic exploration that investigates the boundaries between art and science.
The Artist and His Works
Born in Verona in 1967, Davide Maria Coltro is known as the “inventor of the electronic painting.” His career includes prestigious participations, such as at the Italian Pavilion during the 54th Venice Biennale. His works are characterized by the use of bits and pixels in abstract and innovative combinations, creating an artistic language that engages with new technologies.
The installations presented in the exhibition were previously showcased at the MA*GA in Gallarate over the summer. These works not only challenge artistic conventions but also provide insights for deeper reflection on the relationship between art and spirituality, transforming the exhibition space into an almost contemplative environment.
Thus, the exhibition promises to attract the attention of contemporary art lovers and curious visitors eager to discover new expressive forms in the picturesque setting of Lake Garda.
