👀 Opening today: 𝘔𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘰/𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 featuring a new suite of large-scale paintings of #CasaMollino by @enocperez ♥️ @collezione_maramotti, in collaboration with @museo_casa_mollino, presents 𝘔𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘰/𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴: an exhibition that brings together paintings by #EnocPerez and photographs by #BrigitteSchindler and #CarloMollino. The exhibition features a glimpse into #Mollino’s last, mysterious residence in #ViaNapione, #Turin – now a museum – as transformed by Perez’s brush; these intimate and enigmatic interior portraits blur into the essence of the imaginary they inhabit: offering viewers a rare peak into Mollino’s eccentric world. Since the late 1990s, NYC-based Puerto Rican artist #EnocPerez has been investigating iconic buildings of the twentieth century and the role they have taken on in the popular imagination, as social metaphors of fascination and beauty. But at the same time, what seems to float up out of his paint is the ghostly substance of images: symbols that time has transfigured and transported into a vaguer, even dream-like dimension. The principle theme linking the artists together is one of transformation and visionary creation, in addition to the subject matter of the works on view. Perez turns buildings and rooms into paintings, working from photographic images and adding new levels of interpretation and meaning. The utopia that architects strive for in their designs is shared by the artist within the language of painting with the same expressive significance.
