Recent Work: Luca Pignatelli & Giovanni Rizzoli
Luca Pignatelli and Giovanni Rizzoli will inaugurate their solo exhibitions at the Annex of White Box on 26th st.
Luca Pignatelli will show a group of paintings using as support truck tarpaulins. These works evoke almost cinematically aspects of history of the western world. Luca Pignatelli has recently shown in Paris at Daniel Templon gallery (december 2005-january 2006), Fabrice Galvani gallery, Toulouse (march 2006), and in Germany at the gallery Davide Di Maggio, Berlin, (april- may 2006)
Giovanni Rizzoli will show a series of sculptures entitled "the five violinist", two swans with piercing, and a large painting that points to a specific theoretical position that conceive art, contrary to the present trend, as the visible manifestation that keeps within the infinite power of the terrific God of Caos and Indifference. . Giovanni Rizzoli has more recently had one man shows in Rome, at the gallery Alessandra Bonomo (december 2004- march 2005), in Florence at the gallery Poggiali e Forconi (may-september 2005), and in Genoa at the gallery Unimedia Modern (october-december 2005)
