Two prestigious locations, an excellent curator and an internationally famed artist, Ivan Theimer, in an exhibit that represents the apex of summer in Arezzo and organized by the municipal administration and sponsored by Giovanni Raspini.
The exhibit takes place in two locations: Fortezza Medicea exhibits the sculptures while the Galleria Comunale of Contemporary Art will exhibit oil and watercolor canvases as well as drawings. Vittorio Sgarbi is curating the exhibits, which is entitled “Theimer’s Dream“, and can be visited until October 23rd, free of charge from Tuesday til Sunday.
Guests at the exhibit at the Fortezza Medicea enter through a tunnel conceived as a gallery of fire full of symbolism. The bastion of the Thorn develops topics such as myths , including those related to the sea .
The underground rooms exhibit works that highlight the visceral relationship between the stones used in construction and the bronze, between history’s materials and the ancient fire used in the fusion of melting wax.
The pictorial cycle at the Galleria Comunale of Contemporary Art was born and developed with a strong component of nature. Its proximity to the Bacci Chapel with the masterpieces of the Cycle of the real Cross by Piero della Francesca is not by chance: Ivan Theimer’s paintings feature evident references to the 15th century.
The catalogue by Maggioli Musei Editore will be available in September.
