At the opening of the Art Space “ L’Altrove” of Francesca Mariotti - Personal Exhibition of the artist:
Grazia Massa: “Paths” September 26 through October 9 2009
A big party with many guests and artists at the beautiful personal exhibition “Percorsi” of Grazia Massa at the grand opening of the new art space “L’Altrove” of Francesca Mariotti , via dei Romei 38 in Ferrara. On Saturday September 26th 2009 at 17.00 the event will be opened by the notes of a duet composed by Giulio Arnofi (classical guitar) and Giuditta Isoldi (flute). We will then start with the presentation of Grazia Massa’s works by Dr. Francesca Mariotti, who will do the honors offering to all the guests an inaugural buffet realized by the Duca D’Este Bakery of Ferrara.
Extended and used to host events dedicated to art, the new space “L’Altrove” has been renovated and expanded to better accommodate all the expressions of visual art in the contemporary world and it starts with hosting a friend and important artist from Udine, very tied and in love with the city of Ferrara. Member of the cultural association Olimpia Morata of Ferrara, where the art space will be located, Grazia Massa will be exhibiting, on this occasion, her new abstract production, thirty paintings of great interest for art lovers.
“The works of the collection “Paths” are not a goal but just another step in my artistic research, a journey, a passage, if one can say… Every user can find his own path of life, the approach to the painting and, with a participant observation, look for his own path, tune in to his toughs and with the eyes follow his own path the way it feels closer to his way of being. This in short is the process that brought me to the abstract works.” Grazia Massa 2009.
“…..A quality of the abstract paintings of Grazia Massa is not to ever repeat herself but to change each time the sign and chromatic substance. Every abstract composition of this painter is therefore not concluded in a speech itself but a statement of principle, supported by the knowledge that, beyond the unique kind of its realization there’s nothing else to tell. Paolo Levi 2009.
“Paths , but what and how many can we make in our lives? How many times have we gone the wrong direction and we had to change course so that we can find peace within ourselves? There is no life that has not a “crocked” experience and who was not given the opportunity to create occasions that have marked our way. Grazia Massa manages her work with them to express and focus the essence of our lives and make us grasp the importance and impact that it plays in comparison with others. We are so and at the same time we are nothing! But the most important thing is to be!” Francesca Mariotti 2009
