Ottocento Art Gallery celebrates the expressive languages ​​of the Italian avant-garde of the Second Post War period with a selection of works by the protagonists of a memorable season in the history of 20th-century art. An exhibition, thought within Rome Art Week, designed to present a corpus of important works of the Informel and Abstract art of our country, ordered in a renovated space, conceived as an exhibition space devoted to research undertaken by modern expressive languages ​​deflated in the 20th century. The exhibition thus presents itself in the eyes of the visitor as a dialogue between artists, united by the adoption of new pictorial materials and the will to revolutionize the traditional idea of ​​the art, animated by a rejection of the function of a representative painting considered by now obsolete.
The Sign, Gesture and surface_Abstract and Informel art in Italy exhibition is therefore a path built on the trajectories of the artistic and biographical events of protagonists of the Italian art scene, such as, just to name a few, Perilli, Sanfilippo, Turcato, who pour into an exasperated baggage of images, shapes and signs, an inexhaustible tangle of memories, illusions and hallucinations.
To enrich the exhibition path, artworks by Hsiao Chin and Luigi Boille, witness to an uninterrupted dialogue between elements of Oriental culture and spirituality and a deep knowledge of Western artistic modernity.
