JOURNEY INTO THE WATER | Ennio Tamburi

Solo exhibition by Ennio Tamburi

Journey into the water, featuring works by Ennio Tamburi, curated by Roberto Lacarbonara in collaboration with Elena Biani.

ETworks Studio celebrates its fourth year of activity and returns to present a solo exhibition by Ennio Tamburi dedicated to one of the artist's most cherished and sought-after subjects throughout his long career as a painter: water.

"My direction," Tamburi noted in 2018, "is toward unfinished, fluid geometric forms, with the liquid matter of the colours left free to flow: I create boundaries on the paper, but I also like the shapes to pass by anyway, crumbling away. There is in this, I believe, a new sense of drama that has entered my life: in fact, water is also something that escapes. Like time.

 

For Tamburi, water takes on a symbolic and aesthetic value, not as an object of representation, but as a true condition of painting: a material that changes, flows, penetrates the surface and questions its boundaries. “Viaggio nell'acqua” (Journey into Water) begins with the 1988 watercolour of the same name and builds a path through works that, at different moments in his research, restore the centrality of this element, understood at times as landscape and memory, at others as a chromatic field, rhythm, transparency, and pure energy of matter.
