The humanity of metal. Massimo Gyotti
Exhibition February 6 − March 29, 2020
The Pushkin Museum of Contemporary Art Gallery of the RT presents an exhibition of contemporary Italian artist and sculptor Massimo Gyotti"Humanity of metal".
The exhibition presents composite panels and modular sculpture made of stainless steel - machined or in alloys. Works in which metal is used as canvas are created by the author at various times. Metal today is the basis of creativity for the artist, which allows him to depict figures and forms, and convey the monumentality of the sculpture.
The work of Massimo Gyotti is a symbiosis of painting and sculpture. Tensions, spaces, details are one whole and, despite the inclusion of coarse, post-industrial elements, form an elegant and magnificent architecture. Immersion in the material leads to new forms and works - they lose the three-dimensionality and severity that made up the strength of many of his previous creations. Metal still dominates, but is used as a canvas. These are stainless steel plates that have become an integral part of his work. Tension is maintained, intervals and forms equally enliven the “canvases” - everything returns and resembles the author’s most significant sculptures. Saturated color, geometric patterns, changing reflections and reflections enhance the rhythm and create tension. This new energy is no longer contained in steel structures and profiles. The invoice of stainless steel gives works of plate solemnity of work on canvas.
Italy is the birthplace of classical art. Modern Italian painting and sculpture is less known and does not appear so often in Russia. The exhibition opened at the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Pushkin Museum of the RT provides a unique opportunity for gallery visitors to at least partially fill this gap.
