Press release – Michela Pomaro: “All in all” (curated by Giovanni Agosti)

16th November 2016 - 10th January 2017

Opening time: Tuesday - Saturday | 2 pm - 7 pm

Galleria Monopoli presents “Alla fin della fiera” (“All in all”) a solo show by Michela Pomaro.
In one sector of the gallery the artist has built a green lacquered iron piece of furniture, like those used to sell fruits on the street corners and filled it with wooden boxes, of identical size, each containing a work with different shades of color. Thirty boxes filled with apricots, strawberries and cherries ... all the fruits in the world that actually undergo a transformation to become abstract forms: like colored polyhedra.
Across this sector, in the other part of the gallery, facing the window open on the street, we find a steel counter that exactly resembles an ice cream counter. Inside we find some aluminum trays, each of one containing soft and monochromatic sculptures: yellow, orange and fuchsia are their colors. It is their acid and almost psychedelic color that characterizes Michela's work.
Everything is wrapped up by a neon-blue light which has the same wavelength of the fluorescent colors, so as to transform the gallery into one last night fair.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog, in the form of a bank check book, with a text by Giovanni Agosti.
