Personal exhibition of the Roman artist Mariarosaria Stigliano curated by Angelo Zaccaria of Baart Gallery.
“Luci sulla Città” offers a selection of the artist’s most recent works in a unique exhibition itinerary in which the images dialogue with the observer through literary and musical messages. This synergy between different art forms enriches the visitors’ experience, allowing them to connect with the works on multiple sensorial and emotional levels.
The exhibition, created in collaboration with the Municipality of Bari, is curated by Angelo Zaccaria, director and founder of Baart Galley, an exhibition space in the heart of the Murat village which for years has pursued the objective of developing interest in art by collaborating with Italian and international artists and masters.
For the occasion, the exhibition catalog will be presented by Bruno Parretti, graphic designer, with texts edited by Tiziana Bellanova, art historian and art consultant of Baart Gallery, who comments as follows: “Mariarosaria Stigliano tells a story that moves in the darkness and twilight of consciousness and invites us, like a Dostoevskian character, to enter the magic of the city and in a game of mirrors and symbols to distance ourselves for a moment from reality. For a moment, in fact lost and free in the middle of the night, we can fully admire what surrounds us such as silence, details, expectations, dreams and hopes and abandon fears and illusions. For a moment however, before dawn rises and the city awakens, returning to reality and asking ourselves: what is the limit between the latter and the dream?”.
