LA RUGGINE E IL VETRO (RUST AND GLASS) – ADONE BRUGNEROTTO + ALESSANDRO CADAMURO
The exhibition “La ruggine e il vetro” (“Rust and glass”) features two local artists – Adone Brugnerotto, Alessandro Cadamuro – who express themselves through very different languages. Brugnerotto’s painting is dark, solid, opaque; Cadamuro’s sculpture, on the other hand, appears liquid, transparent, colorless. The contrast between their opposing artistic manifestations offers the opportunity for a dialogue between such different works and for a more complex reflection for viewers.
Adone Brugnerotto – La ruggine e il vetro/Rust and glass
Brugnerotto’s art is often inspired by the industrial environment. He frequented it for years and was influenced by it during his artistic research. His most recent production concerns pictorial cycles dedicated to the world of factories. Here then Brugnerotto’s works take on the contours of large black shapes surrounded by a white background. The screws, propellers, cylinders represented by Brugnerotto no longer appear so solid and heavy in his paintings. Indeed, they seem to float in the air, indifferent to the force of gravity, as if they were living a new life, very far from the previous one.
Adone Brugnerotto lives and paints in Olmi di Treviso. He dedicated himself to painting from a very young age, participating in the initiatives of the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice. He is significantly present on the North-East exhibition scene with solo and group exhibitions
Alessandro Cadamuro – La ruggine e il vetro/Rust and glass
Alessandro Cadamuro is a Venetian glass sculptor. His works are archetypes of transparency, lightness, refraction and liquidity because glass itself is the archetype of lightness, transparency and fragility. Cadamurfo’s glass, on the other hand, often has a sculptural consistency, strength and heaviness. His solid and robust “boxes” are engraved with writings, full of objects, memories and stories. The shapes are blocked, geometric and compact.
Cadamuro attended the Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. He worked in the studios and was part of the artists of Palazzo Carminati “Opera Bevilacqua La Masa” in Venice. In 1980 he founded the “VetroCantore” and “Poevetri” manifesto: the conjugation between sign, sound, transparency and light. From Vetroscripture to glass installations, from performances to happenings, from glass poems to stage schedules (internal/external), from film and video recordings, to images retracted, re-engraved, scratched on glass, in a continuous magma of events and exhibitions.
