The exhibition, curated by Antonio Lavorgna and Andrea Moraes, aims to compare classical art with the new artistic forms generated by artificial intelligence. The aim is to explore the influence of AI on the contemporary art scene, opening a debate between artists on concepts and philosophies that are useful to create an authentic connection between different styles, techniques and means of expression, in the service of imagination.
The exhibition will present material works made with mixed media, surrealism, brutalism, figurative abstractionism, and wax sculptures, alongside works created with artificial intelligence, projected on tablets.
The selected artists include:
Andrea Moraes (wax sculpture, Brazil)
Antonio Servillo (surrealism, Rome)
Massimo Francalanci (brutalism, Florence)
Chiara Meneguzzi (mixed media, Rome)
Federico Lacerna (abstract and figurative, Rome)
