Cartasia 2010: the exhibitions |
|

Corollary to installations en plein air five exhibitions of artists, that the paper did their main means of expression: Caterina Crepax, Anna Onesti, Hemmes and Hiroaki Asahara. The Crepax "carves" with the paper dresses from the details astonishing items that bring us into an atmosphere of elegance and dream. The washi paper sculptures of Hiroaki Asahara catch the eye of the beholder that you miss in a thousand locations of the look: the accuracy of detail, the tension material, space. The works of Onesti, made of Japanese paper artisan and colors, depart by extreme adherence to the materials used and seek to affirm a sensorial experience of physical and optical feel entirely original. Hemmes, the painter of "tears", makes paper living matter. The paper painted "deals" by its edges, conferring a sculptural plasticity that incites to tactility vitreous edgy, almost punitive boldness of the act, in contrast to the glow color delectable sweetmeats, passionate, buzzy. At La Cavallerizza will be set up the collective exhibition Amateras. Within this collective will be presented works from the Festival Amateras, event entirely dedicated to the paper held in Sofia (Bulgaria).The works are creations of artists from all over the world. Between Cartasia and Amateras was born a "artistic association", a kind of twinning exchanged works and ideas between the two events.
