Maurizio Donzelli - Immaginale

Maurizio Donzelli lives and works in #Brescia. He taught for seven years Theory of Perception and Psychology of Color at the Accademia di belle arti Santagiulia in #Brescia.
He produces drawings, paintings, textiles, sculptures, and installations through which he seeks the meeting point of the real world, our perception of it, and its artistic representations. His approach to making art is rooted in philosophical considerations of the nature of perception, and how visual phenomena such as color, images, and art itself affect the way we see and understand reality.
He considers drawing both an intellectual and technical pursuit, and it is central to his practice. Donzelli’s work also features mirrors, which he sees as symbols of the process of perception. With their simultaneous ability to reflect and distort, they also mirror our own variable and inevitably inexact comprehension of the surrounding world. In one series, Donzelli layered sheets of lenticular glass over watercolor drawings; the works appear to shift and distort as viewers pass by them.

Paolo Novelli - Il giorno non basta

Paolo Novelli has been shooting photographs since 1997, using only analogue cameras and black and white film. In 1999, after being selected for a internship at Fabrica (Benetton Communication Agency), directed by Oliviero Toscani, he decided to start his own independent research on the theme of incommunicability. Doors, tunnels, mists, windows, death, #people filmed from behind are what characterise the cycles of images he has published to date in seven monographs. He has held numerous personal exhibitions in public and private spaces, including: Milano, Triennale (2019) – Genova, Palazzo Grillo (2019) – Amsterdam, Istituto Italiano di Cultura (2015) – Torino, PHOS Centro per la Fotografia (2017) – Bologna, Palazzo d’Accursio (2006) – Cremona, Palazzo Comunale (2005; he has also taken part in collective art exhibitions, including: Palazzo Ducale in Genova (2016) “Flashback, Fotografia Italiana di Sperimentazione 1960- 2016”, Palazzo del Governatore in Parma (2012) “Mille, scatti per una storia d’Italia”. In 2017 he was appointed an Honorary Member of the A.F.I.P. (Italian Professional Photographers Association), chaired by Giovanni Gastel, on the occasion of his giving a Lectio Magistralis [Lecture] at Triennale Milano.
