SCULPTURES IN WOOD, STONE AND PERCEPTIONS …- EXMA’ – CAGLIARI – DECEMBER 1 TO 9

The exhibition Nanni Gennari, woodcarvings, stone and … perceptions, curated by Mary Elizabeth Governors and Erica Olmetto, presents a series of wooden sculptures and stone both large and small, representing objects, human or animal figures that can Gennari to perceive as existing in the form of a strain of walnut and juniper and accompanies their creation. The sculptures of Nanni Gennari born in a totally spontaneous, stylistically inspired by naturalism plastic with interesting references surrealists. Among the other works emerging small and big creatures of water and earth, the sea horse or the snail. Also stand for “animal heads” that can be seen for the refinement of the execution and technical perfection. Within the abundant and incessant production, you can also admire the precious miniatures: small art jewelry meticulously executed, whose forms are inspired by a mythical and fascinating collection of creatures, real or imaginary beings, finely depicted in the style that distinguishes the profoundly naturalistic sculptor.

Nanni Gennari born in Cagliari in February 1938. Since 1995, now retired, began its production “art.” In a totally random, wooden fragments of unusual details and invoice, as well as stones, boulders and pebbles of unusual shape began to attract the attention and called for the artist’s imagination. These findings have been subjected to an “empirical manipulation” intended to extrapolate that “something” that he had imperceptibly perceived. The works carried out so far have the unique characteristic of being absolutely unique and unrepeatable in their own kind because it is completely in harmony with shapes, textures and sinuous natural even if only hinted at. The first and only performance in public of his works took place in Cagliari in June 2002 (“the Guild of the Arts”, exhibition halls ISLAND Via S. Croce in “Castle”). From then until now, even for personal choice, no longer exposed to the public, while continuing to make new works, of course, despite receiving flattering and invitations to exhibit including, just recently, the unexpected invitation, unexpected and absolutely unpredictable put by the board of ‘”AGORA GALLERY Contemporary fine art” of New York City’s art galleries district of Chelsea, who discovered him viewing his personal website.
