Lorenzo Vale, Il lungo viaggio – 670 x 470 mm – 2018, acquaforte
Lorenzo Vale makes etchings, preferring the technique of etching, to create works with suggestive chiaroscuro effects.
Thanks to the lack of colour, the artist focuses on the expressive possibilities of the sign and can thus describe dark and mysterious atmospheres.
Over 40 graphic works by Lorenzo Vale will be on show at the Stamperia d’arte Albicocco in Udine from 17 December 2021 to 28 February 2022 in the solo exhibition entitled “In your eyes. Prints 2010 – 2021”.

Caravaggio was said to be a tormented artist who painted works destined to be both admired and criticized at the same time. But not everyone knows that the Entombment of Christ was the only painting that was met with general approval.
In this post you’ll discover the only masterpiece by Caravaggio that Napoleon confiscated in Rome and that tried, unsuccessfully, to bring to Paris forever.

Known for her airy imagery, Dr Gindi has modelled a name for herself as a sculptor of striking proficiency. The characters in her sculptures are distinctly fragile, fractured with gaps and chasms; at the same time, they are emphatically melodic in their finesse and fugacity as they search for the infinity of human existence.
I talked to Dr Gindi to learn more about her leitmotiv infinity and how it relates to the big questions of our time.
