Lovi Mauro

17th August - 30th September 2012
PIETRASANTA (LU)

The old workshop of marbles by Massimo Nieri in Pietrasanta, in collaboration with Daniele Squaglia shows a unique exhibition of Mauro Lovi.

.

His works are presented in a still functioning marbles'laboratory from the early 1900.

.

The charm of the old workshop where the ancient stonework, antique fireplaces, columns and portals are the fascinating choreography of the paintings on display.

.

Definitely a new cultural approach to Pietrasanta trying to connect its rich history of  marble, coming from far away, with the proposal to combine modern and contemporary art, exhibiting 50 paintings in Pietrasantina the town of Versilia, place symbol of tradition which in recent years has become an important cultural center for contemporary art with many galleries and exhibitions many proposals.


.

Mauro Lovi is certainly "the artist" par excellence that the City of Lucca has expressed in the past 30 years, there is no field of artistic language, with all its technical and expressive means that Mauro has not dealt with high professionalism and excellent results.


.

Since the early 70th begins the long path with the first exhibitions and the contact with Homer Biagioni  - Blue Chips Gallery  in Lucca where he met and confronted with Franco Russoli, Renzo Vespignani, Domenico Cantatore, Gaston Orellana, Bruno Cassinari Renato Santini.

.

In the late seventies he had the opportunity to meet architects and artists of the time as belonging to the forefront, Agnetti Vincenzo, Gaetano Pesce, James Wine of the SITE, Nanda Vigo, Luigi Ontani, Ugo Marano.

.

Since the mid-80s, thanks to his attendance at Milan, he had the opportunity to attend, Dorfles, Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Matteo Thune, Marco Zanini (among the founders of Memphis), Luigi Serafini, Urano Palma, etc.
