Italo Cremona. Everything else is deep night
Temporary exhibition at the Mart
The Mart dedicates to the work and creative universe of Italo Cremona an anthological exhibition that traces the artist’s entire production.
The nocturnal is one of the themes of Italo Cremona‘s painting, an expressive, existential and philosophical condition that produces dreams, nightmares, apparitions, fantastic images. Everything else is deep night is the phrase with which Cremona concluded one of the texts of Acetylene, a column from the Fifties.
Painter-writer and polyhedral intellectual, in his paintings and writings Italo Cremona has investigated the shadow zone (title of one of his books): a spacious territory, where darkness comes into contact with light through flashes, through the brightness of an acetylene lamp (the light once used by miners and speleologists).
Everything else is deep night is therefore the key chosen to trace an exhibition route dedicated to the vast painting of Italo Cremona.
The exhibition gathers a hundred paintings and a selection of drawings and engravings and documenting the artist’s highest pictorial quality, rereading in the present the originality of his imaginary.
