• Il fragile divenire

    Andrea Gallotti
    For the first time, Andrea Gallotti presents a project that organically intertwines his painting and sculptural research, transforming them into a single, coherent, and pulsating language. The exhibition, curated by Livia Ruberti in collaboration with Orma Art, is hosted in the spaces of Galleria della Chiusa, a location dedicated to expansion and experimentation with collaborating galleries. The selection of works offers some perspectives on Gallotti’s ongoing exploration of the complexity of the sign function and its endless possibilities for variation, proposing an intimate and rigorous dialogue between matter, gesture, and time. At the heart of the project is the gesture, understood as the primary act, the foundation of every artistic and mental construct. Gallotti explores its minimal variation: the same gesture, repeated multiple times, undergoes slight deviations, imperceptible mutations that reveal an unexpected complexity. It is within this gentle discrepancy, in the “almost identical” that never fully coincides, that the material comes to life and reflects the profound tension of the artist’s inquiry. The gesture, always the same yet always different, thus becomes a tool for knowledge, a way of inhabiting time and thinking through matter. The exhibition brings together a canvas that reflects on the “grammar of the gesture,” six marble sculptures, and nine glass works, all created in the past year. Together, these pieces form a visual constellation that investigates the sense of becoming, the inevitability of change, and the complexity contained within repetition. The marble, with its millennia-old stratifications, evokes a geological and meditative sense of time.
