Her compositions move on a single visual plane, but the dynamics project them in all directions and dimensions in a single frame, recreating an unusual and perfect form of abstract expressionism.

Codice a barre+Elena De Angelis+Walter Lafrate I Monotonia di una materia
The desire to experiment forms and functions of a material and how it can be used is the idea behind this itinerary. Wood - broken down and recomposed, de-structured enough to make it suitable for the purpose - becomes a functional and functioning object, with make-up worthy of a star: matter becomes a useful companion of our domestic world.

A personal exhibition of the Roman artist for a new series of paintings depicting lighthouses: pioneer architecture fatally built between the land, sea and infinity.
… a lighthouse is a like a categorical event. Totalising. Sculptural. In the end, it’s capable of rescinding what is human, this smallness so emotional and transitory and celebrate the fullness of solitude …

Gaia Scaramella I Dio ed Io
Presentation of the new works of the artist made of enamel and acrylic on wood. Despite the use of a traditional technique – engraving - the artist exploits modern methods, sometimes using installations, with both sacred and profane contents that are based on his own personality and the need to ferry the recognisability of pure engravings towards a more open artistic state.
