Retrospective, a New Online Exhibition by the Italian Artist Cesare Catania

Milan, Italy - 30th July 2020

Exactly a month ago, the Italian artist #cesarecatania announced the opening of his new exhibition, #online this time, containing his most famous works.

A month after the inauguration, the artist and the organizers are enthusiastic about the results obtained and they affirm that «an #online exhibition opens the world of art to everyone, not only to regular visitors to museums and art galleries. The #online channels» continues the artist «dissolve those boundaries that elevate art to an elite matter. Appreciating a work of art live definitely has a different flavor, but starting to approach art through the web helps both viewers and workers in the art field».

40 masterpieces gathered on the personal website of the contemporary painter and sculptor are to be seen right from the comfort of your own living room.

The current exhibition is an elaborate version of the “Retrospective 2019” that took place last summer in the rooms of the Royal Palace Museum of Monza. An updated selection of Cesare Catania’s works brings into a new focus the themes proposed and elaborated by the artist in the last few years. Basically, this exhibition aims to consolidate the maturity of his artistic career and to examine the works that have characterized his creative process, which is still in constant evolution today.

Among the artworks presented there is a 3-d painting "The Man Who Does not See" (2013) inspired by the reflections on the overall condition of the human race. The man is immersed in the society around him blindfolded. Sometimes he tries to take a breath of fresh air like a man immersed in water trying to emerge. The tones of yellow cheerful and bright symbolize a context of a golden cage, the expression of a society that appears serene and happy when viewed with the blindfold.

Another painting related to social and cultural setting is "The Embrace" (2016) interpreted by the author in a tight sense between a man and a woman, in a broader sense between #people of two different colors. The themes of anti semitism and racism are above all reconciled to the artist in an embrace .

About #cesarecatania: born in Milan on 1st February 1979, he developed both, in his private life and during his course of studies, a real aptitude for graphic and pictorial arts. Studies in mathematics and engineering together with a passion for art in general give rise to works that blend sculpture and painting, oil painting and innovative materials and technologies.
