Investigate the current state of the painting with an emphasis on those linguistic evidence favoring a pre- romantic feeling almost, seemingly far from the contingency of contemporary life. This is the intention of Andrea Bruciati, curator of "Visions for an inventory", group exhibition of 19 artists of different generations and various parts of the peninsula, but all toghether stylistic figures due to the atmosphere unfathomable unconscious.
Highlighting an attitude that puts its premises on subjective data and visionary painting practice, the selected works are, however, far from a  fabulous' alienating or a random escape into fantasy.They are, rather, alternative approaches to the usual analysis of reality, where the hermetic given representations, explains curator Bruciati, is coming to a stand-alone operation and in-subjective, to a new sense of meaning. This dive creative imagination, of Jungian memory, leading to evidence charming, distinguished, than by assertive responses, from a metaphorical reflection in a precarious balance between logic and irrationality.
The selected artists are:
Paola Angelini ( San Benedetto del Tronto , 1983) , Simone Berti (Adria , 1966) , Lorenza Boisi (Milan , 1972) , Thomas Braida (Gorizia , 1982) , Rossana Buremi ( Augsburg, 1975) , Pierpaolo Campanini ( Cento, 1964) , Valerio Carrubba (Syracuse , 1975) , Jacopo Casadei (Cesena , 1982) , Paul Chiasera (Bologna , 1978) , Tomaso De Luca ( Verona, 1988) , Giulio Frigo ( Arzignano , 1984) , Lorenzo Morri ( Jesi , 1989) , Valerio Nicolai (Gorizia , 1988) , Dario Pecoraro (Milan , 1984) , Louis Preston (Porto Cesareo , 1976) , Alessandro Roma (Milan , 1977) , Marco Salvetti ( Pietrasanta , 1983) , Giovanni Sartori Braido ( Venice, 1989) , Vito Stassi (Palermo , 1980).
Sulphurous atmospheres and decaying alternating telluric fibrillation of the psyche, where the shades and shadowy depths of the retina are raped pulp fluid and expressionistic . In this way, the exhibition aims to recover a critical line of interpretation , taking advantage of the enlightened thinking of scholars such Briganti and Calvesi pursues a systematic actualized eccentric, according to a criterion very close to that 'mathematical sublime', which responded to Kant.
If the title of the exhibition refers in fact to be an oxymoron , the subtitle refers to the book instead of the Venetian Marco Boschini The mines of painting ( 1664 ), with its stores 'Maravegie' of boundless beauty and powerful, yet indexes of great beauty.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication edited by Quodlibet , Macerata ( Italian / English), with curatorial text and critical interventions, enhanced by a rich iconographic repertoire with curricular experiences that complement each other, which of sound scientific study, the concept of the exhibition.
