Maurizio Bonato 2022

BETWEEN THE WORLDS
The magical plays a central role in Maurizio Bonato's artistic work. The artist usually finds starting points in literature, poetry or in the mysterious stories of myths and legends, which he takes up with a fine sense, pursues further and sometimes meticulously researches. Even the superficially inconspicuous is relevant, a feeling, a moment or a cross-connection that the artist allows to flow into his pictorial inventions between magic and rationality. In this way, multi-layered works emerge in the arc of tension between worlds, which offer corresponding space for personal feelings or associations and also demand them.

Maurizio Bonato usually works in series; starting from sketches and smaller notations, he develops his works - in graphite, watercolour, oil pastels, pigment - on different formats and image carriers. The exhibition will show excerpts from current series of works, from small-format works on paper to larger formats on semi-transparent Folarex.

Opening of the exhibition on Friday, 01.04.2022 at 19:00.
Introductory words: Dr. Peter Assmann (Dir. Tiroler Landesmuseen)
