ArtMoorHouse is delighted to present L’Utopia Della Pittura, an exhibition of work by two of Italy’s most acclaimed artists, both from Padua, positioning the highly revered and well-established Renato Pengo alongside promising young painter Alessandro Pizzo. The exhibition runs 10 November – 10 December 2014. Despite their diversity of expression, for this show the artists have nurtured a unique synergy and understanding around the content and needs of art in our times, crowded with a wide array of languages aimed exclusively at dramatization. Simultaneously, both artists, diverse in age and technical training, reveal in their work a fundamental leap of vision, which involves feeling, knowing and communicating. This understanding has developed over the past three to four years through continuous dialogue – the works presented in this exhibition are the result of this discourse. Born from an artistic preoccupation that has been a major concern for Renato Pengo for several decades, L’Utopia Della Pittura, ‘The Utopia of Painting’, similarly draws on and aims to unravel brief moments of psycho-sensory consciousness. In the early 1970s, Pengo’s works departed from his academic formation and the existentialistic expressiveness, reaching new ways of experimentation – rigorously cerebral serial structures leading to the almost true essence of colour.
