Maurizio Pellegrin: Gestures: works on paper

Maurizio Pellegrin (Venice, 1956), an artist of international prominence who has shown in prestigious museums and institutions all over the world and taught in the leading American universities, is back in his native city with three exhibitions at once, subtly separate in the configuration and display of the works, and yet together as in a single project.

The two Venetian galleries, Michela Rizzo and Marignana Arte, both having worked with Pellegrin in the past and also having with him a reciprocal relationship of profound esteem, decided to collaborate not only on this occasion but with a broader and more lasting project aimed at diffusing and distributing together the artist’s work. Alongside the two galleries there is also Nuova Icona with the space of the Oratorio di San Ludovico, a place where Pellegrin has often shown, presenting an installation created for the occasion.

Marignana Arte instead presents the exhibition Gestures: Works on Paper: seven subtle new works on paper in the same series, with objects and acrylic paint, graphite and tempera.
