ESTHER STOCKER
12 May - 24 June 2006
The work of Esther Stocker (1974) suggests a reflection
on the meaning of geometric abstraction, on the perceptive approaches
between the viewer and the artwork, as well as an innovative reconsideration
of the Italian artistic experiences from the Sixties and, especially,
of the experimentations by the gruppo T (Colombo, Varisco, De Vecchi
and others).
Her visual language thoroughness enables us to consider again the issue
of the relation between the artwork and the audience by means of the
specificity of the painting structural elements. Primal forms, grids,
compositional geometries that vibrate because of the interaction between
the “non-colours” black and white are, both for the viewers
and for the insiders, a singular occasion to deal with an artistic
path that reintroduces the reflection on the modernity’s conceptual
and visual devices.
Her solo show at the Galleria Contemporaneo follows her recent exhibitions in Rome, at the Unosunove gallery (16 February - 15 April 2006), at the Centre for Contemporary Arts L. Pecci in Prato with the major group show on the new Austrian art Opera Austria – Prospettive frammentate: arte nel cuore dell’Europa (26 February - 28 May 2006) and at the Galerie im Taxispalais in the Land Tirol of Innsbruck (7 April - 21 May 2006). The exhibition at the Galleria Contemporaneo is part of a new rich artistic program of excellent quality that will show, besides her last years and more recent works, site specific installations that are the core of Stocker’s artistic research.
A catalogue with English and Italian texts by Matteo Ballarin, Riccardo Caldura, Domenico Papa and Esther Stocker is available. Images of all the exhibited works and of the special projects are included in the publication.
