DISSENT IN THE WORKS OF AI WEIWEI

Ai Weiwei’s works are masterpieces of contemporary Chinese art.
From the stools placed one on top of the other to the coloured vases, from the assembled bicycles to the photos in which he shows his middle finger, his aim is to provoke a reaction, to ignite the spark of reflection, to question us on a thorny issue that concerns us all.

Ai Weiwei lives and works in Beijing, Berlin, Cambridge and Lisbon and is an artist who uses multiple languages, ranging from multimedia to film, from writing to social media.

Rodolfo Aricò’s works explore the concept of spatialism and provoke a discussion on the infinite possibilities of the canvas form.
It is precisely the canvas in Rodolfo Aricò’s life’s work that becomes a space that can be transcended through the principles of perspective axonometry or even through a special application of colour.

Space and the viewer’s perception of it are the main themes one encounters in Rodolfo Aricò’s works.
