The Levity of Paolo Gubinelli

It is not a journey, but the point of arrival that which Paolo Gubinelli tells through his works on display in Bocconi from Monday, November 11, to Wednesday, January 8, in the restaurant in Via Sarfatti. The inauguration will be on Monday at 6pm

Art critic Elena Pontiggia, says "The work by Paolo Gubinelli (born in 1945 in Matelica, Italy) featured in this short retrospective focuses on levity. It may be strange that his art is not better remembered in times like ours, in which we are always discussing lightness and everything aims to be soft and light. However, there is a reason. The levity in his paintings and papers is not an optimistic, triumphal, positivist quality. It is a lyrical dimension that borders on fragility. His delicate lines that cross the page almost without touching it, his diagonals and interrupted circumferences that quickly travel through space, his soft, almost faded colors, speak of a volatile world that dissolves before our eyes. They speak of a fleeting beauty that tends to hide. They speak of difficult balances, as in his adjacent angle triangles, which could be described as Licini said of his geometries: "They are in equilibrium by some miracle." What's more, they speak of a striving for a space different from the limited and narrow space through which we move. Colored patterns and lines convey the idea, in short, of the beginning of a journey. But what interests Gubinelli is not the path: it is the point of arrival.

The exhibition is organized by ISU Bocconi, with free entrance, from Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
