23 COLORS
SOL LEWITT & PAOLO INCARNATO
SEPTEMBER 2024
Between minimalism, conceptual art and arte povera, the ''23 Colors'' exhibition explores works by Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) and Paolo Incarnato (1990). A mix of colors that will occupy the space of Keramikos 23 from 09.09.2024 to commemorate the American artist born on the same date. The two different artists find a common approach in geometric and free shapes using different surfaces.
''Sette Stelle'' by LeWitt is a series of lithographs produced in 1984 in which the artist expresses: ''...the search for an ideal stage, in which the visual event is the exact result of a conceptual process, allows the 'extreme purification of the idea or concept which thus presents itself for what it is, rational and objective entities, which do not allow subjective and empathic inputs, typical of the ''aesthetic...'' intervention Germano Celant ''L'Orchestra LeWitt' '.
''Totem'' by Incarnato addresses a parallel between tribal art and contemporary realities, using waste tires and coloring the ''bas-reliefs'' with bright colors as if they were, ironically, patron saints of social categories to which we are tied for life in modern consumer society.
