THE WORKS OF ANTONIO LIGABUE TO GET TO KNOW THE MAN AND THE ARTIST

Antonio Ligabue’s works are the tool of a man who wanted to communicate his pain and suffering to the world.
Judgments about his art have often been misleading and his works have been wrongly described as naïve or the work of an artist marked by madness.

In reality, he is a unique case in the art of the second half of the 20th century, but he is able to tell each of us something thanks to that cry in the silence of nature that seems to come out of his paintings. A cry that resonates in the deafness of the people around him.

These are artists who use social media to showcase their digital works and disseminate them to an ever wider audience.
They are true pioneers in interpreting the link between art and the metaverse and, according to a survey carried out by FLU PLUS, an integrated influencer marketing suite owned by FLU, the phenomenon is expanding to the point of involving museums and galleries: suffice it to think of the creation of the Seattle NFT Museum, the first NFT museum opened on 14 January in Seattle.

VENICE BIENNALE 2022 TICKETS, PAVILIONS, SIDE EVENTS

Venice Biennale 2022, tickets, pavilions, collateral events, what to see and where to go.
This is it, the Art Biennale, after the 2020 stop due to the pandemic, is about to reopen its doors and is ready to show the new trends of contemporary art.

Every two years, the world’s most important and prestigious international art exhibition presents a theme to reflect on and allows the various nations of the world to describe their point of view on art, the world and creativity, always sparking off a battle between those who claim that the previous Biennale was the best or that this is the best Biennale ever.

The only thing that is certain is that since 1895 the Biennale has been attracting the most important contemporary artists to Venice, provoking discussion, debate, scandal, protest and inspiration.
This is why you need a guide, or rather a survival kit, to help you find your way around and immediately know where to go and what to see.

In this post you will find all the updates on the Venice Biennale 2022 what to see, where to go and what to do 😉

Her portraits are considered to be the new frontier of contemporary portraiture and the body is the absolute protagonist in her paintings.
