Sacred and profane are two words that, in Serena Fineschi’s experience, characterize a relationship with painting, as there is both a sacral respect for and breaking of traditional canons.
Sacred and Profane is composed of two distinct but connected journeys. The first is Fineschi’s personal exhibition, in the main space of the gallery, in which the artist conducts a reflection on painting from the fourteenth century to the present day. This brings to conclusion a cycle of works started by the artist a few years ago. The second is a collective exhibition in the project room by artists working in the contemporary Italian pictorial panorama, all personally invited by Fineschi to participate.
