ORIZZONTI CONTIGUI è il titolo della rassegna che verrà allestita nella città di Firenze nel periodo Natalizio. La mostra si estenderà su due prestigiosi spazi espositivi che, pur differenti tra loro, sotto il profilo della finalità, riescono a dialogare in nome dell’arte.
La storica Galleria d’Arte Mentana e il prestigioso Borghese Palace Art Hotel, struttura ricettiva quattro stelle, in questa occasione ospiteranno opere di artisti internazionali attentamente selezionati.
In questo modo il tempo e lo spazio si dilatano all’infinito inseguendo pensieri, colori e forme che, in fughe metaforiche, riportano al dialogo, per condurre un viaggio interiore ad un percorso espositivo che descriva puntualmente le tendenze artistiche contemporanee. Il clima si fa suggestivo e i cambiamenti repentini riescono ad esaltare l’omogeneità spirituale dell’intento delle due esposizioni.

CRITICS
The painter’s poetical world is the symbol of a fertile song, but also a stage of happy presences, though human beings are absent. Luigi De Giovanni searches faith, a spiritual meaning. He’s an artist who feels a desire to regard canvases as pages of an endless diary, because nature’s particular and messages have no end. He feels the necessity to bring to ligth all the answers to man’s existential anxietis. In De Giovanni’s compositions the trees are the archetype that transforms itself into poetic imagination, exalted in forms referable to reality, Luigi De Giovanni choose very few themes to communicate his enlightements that reveal their meaning like intimate exclamations. His post – impressionist intimism lives through the necessity to catch on to the absolute and observes the static nature of landscapes, as something definite and everlasting.
