Through an Unconscious Path – Mnemosyne
This is an installation that brings together the various Mnemosyne works produced since 2020.
They are works conceived and produced individually, and therefore necessarily different in the subjects depicted and in the technical methods, but united by a formal similarity given by the luminous grayness that graphite and oilbar give to the works.
These works present, in their variety, both contemporary images – Mnemosyne. Obrist – and of the past – such as the bust of Eros in Mnemosyne. Amor vincit omnia, Caravaggio. Others contain personal photographs from the artist’s archive juxtaposed with those that constitute the collective imagination such as China, June 5, 1989. Mnemosyne. Such works on paper and aluminium are combined with paintings on canvas such as Still Life. Mnemosyne and Childhood. Mnemosyne, which are more instinctive paintings , showing a series of magmatic synergies emerging from the creative process.
The studio was the place where Mnemosyne’s paintings could emerge organically, for the imagination is the place where dreams, memories and images chase each other, overlap, create and dissolve. For this reason, the place itself is the subject of the work, or rather, the main character becomes the act of walking as the title suggests.
