Glenda Cinquegrana Art Consulting is pleased to present Silent Dialogue, the first solo exhibition by Manuel Felisi (Milan, 1976) at the gallery. The exhibition brings together a focused selection of works from the artist’s Vertigini cycle, in which Felisi continues to develop his distinctive hybrid practice, combining photographic printing, painting, and supports drawn from industrial materials such as concrete and felt.
For this exhibition, Felisi sets out to establish a silent dialogue with the history of Italian art: from Giulio Paolini and his reversed canvas to Giuseppe Uncini, whose use of concrete Felisi revisits; from Gilberto Zorio and his hides impressed with words and stars, to Joseph Beuys and his use of felt. These materials, which for the artists of Arte Povera were charged with energy, become for Felisi dense with manual labor and with a memory tied to work.
