THE POETRY OF FLOWERS
March 21 @ 10:00 - May 4 @ 19:00
The exhibition takes you on a captivating journey through the multifaceted and colorful beauty of flowers, seen through the eyes of different artists, who translate their poetic and evocative potential into visual expression. The exposition showcases a selection of works that explore flowers in their various forms, from sophisticated and symbolic still lifes to the explosive vitality of wildflowers, from delicate bouquets of cut flowers to lush spring gardens. The artists behind these works are Russian post-impressionist painters, including Georgij Moroz, Gleb Savinov, Maya Kopitzeva, and Boris Lavrenko, whose mastery in the use of color and light transforms each flower into a vibrant subject of life. But also other artists with completely different backgrounds, such as the Florentine Enzo Faraoni, who has made the essence of things the hallmark of his painting and whose works tell the poetic everyday life of the simplest things, including flowers, through sober still lifes, the intense and refined Luisa Albert, and Giulio Da Milano, one of the representatives of the Turin artistic culture of the 1930s and 1940s.
In their paintings, flowers are not mere decorative elements or objects of study, but rather authentic protagonists of visual narratives, capable of conveying sensations, emotions, and reflections on the ephemeral and the eternal. Real metaphors of life, they emerge from the canvas with strong intensity, sometimes as a symbol of hope, sometimes as a reference to the fleetingness of time and transience, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in shapes and colors that suggest a deeper reflection on the cycle of nature, rebirth, and continuous renewal.
The Poetry of Flowers is a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between nature and art, an exhibition that speaks to the senses and reason of the viewer through a universal language.
