Maurizio Pellegrin
Maurizio Pellegrin has lived in New York for many years now. He is back in Venice, his birthplace, with this exhibition after a long and busy absence during which he showed his works in museums and private galleries all over the world.
The exhibition presents an eclectic assortment of works revolving around an installation, an architecture of rails and toy trains floating in midair, traveling on the tracks of a historic experience, an adventure lasting over thirty years: after being pictorial it gradually absorbed a broader artistic range, overflowing from the canvas into space. These works, the author advises us, should be seen in back light, in that zone at the confines between content, text and context, between description, language and representation, between poetic idea and corporality.
