Eataly Art House – E.ART.H. presents a new exhibition project dedicated to the emerging Italian scene, focusing on contemporary pictorial production through the work of nine young artists: Première, curated by Luca Beatrice with Giorgia Alchilarre, assistant curator.
Conceived for the E.ART.H. Art Market, the group exhibition brings together works by Mauro Baio (Lecco, 1991), Chiara Calore (Abano Terme, 1994), Matteo Capriotti (Giulianova, 1996), Andrea Ceddia (Rome, 1997), Lorenzo Ermini (Montevarchi, 1996), Olga Lepri (Mosca, 1997), Gloria Franzin (Treviso, 1999), Sofia Massalongo (Verona, 1998), Davide Serpetti (L’Aquila, 1990) and is open to the public from Friday 13 October 2023 to Sunday 31 March 2024, on the ground floor of Eataly Verona.
The approach of these artists, born between 1990 and 1999, between generations Y (millennials) and Z, reflects the urgencies of our time. It is structured in the light of the new technological, communicative and educational possibilities of recent decades and the levers that have emerged from the processes set in motion in the 1960s. Digital natives, familiar with the dynamics of the web and instant communication, from television to social media, this group represents a generation of rupture, facing a completely new world.
The painters selected for this cross-section have experienced increasingly radical and sudden changes, the economic crisis of 2008 and the recognition of an unbridled mixture of genres and languages. What emerges is a gaze that reveals a willingness to put the most established visual strategies to the test, while maintaining the pictorial surface as the preferred tool.
