Press release

From 23 April to 15 September 2024 the Giuseppe exhibition opens to the public
Modica. Mediterranean routes – circular vision, edited by Maria
Giuseppina Di Monte and Gabriele Simongini, in the spaces of the House Museum
Hendrik Christian Andersen directed by Maria Giuseppina Di Monte e
pertaining to the State Museums Directorate of Rome, led by the Director
General Museums Prof. Massimo Osanna.
The event is held as part of the Giuseppe Modica project. Broken
Mediterranean supported by the PAC2022-2023 – Plan for the Arts
Contemporary, promoted by the General Directorate of Creativity
Contemporary of the Ministry of Culture which allowed the acquisition
of two works by the artist Giuseppe Modica: Melancholy and Mediterranean
(2017, oil on panel) and Refraction. Atelier (2020, oil on canvas).
The exhibition itinerary winds through the room on the first floor of the
Casa Museo through about twenty oils on canvas, almost all unpublished
made in recent years in which, as Giuseppe Modica writes: Il
The Mediterranean is not understood as a mythical Arcadia but as a place
marked by multiple vicissitudes. Modica is an established artist in
national and international scope, among the main exponents of a
new metaphysics in Italian painting of the second half of the twentieth century. In the
exhibition at the Hendrik Christian Andersen House Museum the works on display are
characterized by enigmatic atmospheres that investigate painting in
its various articulations: from a measured and phenomenal space of
surface to an illusory and imaginary space of depth. In
time and light play a fundamental role in this circular flow
and memory, in its meanings of personal, cultural,
anthropological.
