Contini Art Gallery | Andrea Valleri - Atene - Neopaleo / Dialogos | Extension
Contini Art Gallery is pleased to announce the extension of the solo exhibition by #andreavalleri at the Epigraphic Museum of Athens: "Dialogos", the last stage of the Neopaleo project. The exhibition will be open to the public until April 21st, 2023. After Venice, Samos, and Messolonghi the four exhibitions of the Venetian artist promoted by the Contini Art Gallery in Venice and Cortina d'Ampezzo, will end in the Greek capital city.
With Dialogos, #andreavalleri has been the first artist in the world to exhibit within the prestigious setting of the Epigraphic Museum of Athens; in fact, the museum contains the largest number - 14,000 - and the most important epigraphs found in Greece.
Dialogos is meant to be the suggestion and the conclusion of an ideal path according to which history and growth of culture result from a constant confrontation of positions; this confrontation takes place in the present and cannot escape the patterns of the past that relives in our memory.
Regarding this, we quote an excerpt from the introductory note to the exhibition by Marianna Savrami, Phd. Architect of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage of Greece and curator of the exhibition: "Andrea Valleri's approach represents an original intellectual adventure. His artworks are the expression of a personal interpretation and attribution of meanings from ancient symbolism and philosophy; as he says, they remain unchanged in the cyclical course of time. In his artwork we find the myth of the Centaur, an ancient archetype of the health of existence; through this and other artwork, the author shows us the meeting point between the past and the future.
In the way, he expresses himself in his paintings and sculptures #andreavalleri shows us that things cease to be mere external objects. They enter an environment intended for and subject to constant human interpretation, an environment that becomes known to the viewer through the artist's pop language of consistent forms. Finally, it is pleonastic to say that the artist's perspective highlights the foundational value in the time of ancient Greek culture, as antiquity constitutes a dynamic in constant evolution."
Andrea Valleri's exhibitions are promoted by the Contini Art Gallery in collaboration with some of the most important Cultural Institutions in Venice and Greece: the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation of Venice, the National Archaeological Museum of Samos, the National Byzantine and Christian Museum of Athens, the National Epigraphic Museum of Athens, and the Region of Western Greece (Messolonghi).
The Contini Art Gallery has published a catalog (English-Greek-Italian) to accompany the exhibitions, containing the entire exhibition under the title ΝΕΟΠΑΛΑΙΟ ("NEOPALEO").
