Little Circus: Gianni Cella – Eden

Antonio Colombo inaugurates for Little Circus - a space inside the gallery dedicated to special projects - a personal exhibition by Gianni Cella, Eden a metaphor that affirms the origins of art and life. The installation consists of two central figures, the sculptures of Adam and Eve and, on the wall, the "Primitive Chaos", a series of good-naturedly threatening masks, which surround the faces of Adam and Eve. Gianni Cella's way of living and making art comes from a surplus of empathy that makes him feel in contact with the world, always favoring in his works three-dimensional figures characterized by bright colors. The atmosphere of his works is that of the bittersweet irony of the topics treated, representative of an imaginary playful and light-hearted appointment which, however, allows us to glimpse a background of subtle tragedy. His images are endowed with a sensitive empathy, in which stereotypes of popular figurativeness, dramatic elements and abstract structures belonging to our era are transfigured.
