Entitled The place to be, the exhibition conceived by artist Paolo Buzzi as a unique installation that engages and transforms the spaces of the Antonella Cattani contemporary art gallery into a garden.

The exhibition will be open free to the public on the occasion of the Giornata del Contemporaneo promoted by AMACI, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023.

Contrary to the heaviness and the physical and environmental gravity of much contemporary sculpture, the aspiration of Buzzi is to express a sense of delicacy and evanescence, softness, and lightness. He narrates the sensitive, euphoric quality of vegetable and its alteration, which is entrusted to his tactful, tender attention. His sculptures, give body to natural forms whose fascinating tactile presence create a luminous harmony in their context.
Focusing on constant research into form, Buzzi’s language has evolved from a strong connection with nature: flowers and leaves reflecting the natural life cycle, are moulded into sculptures. The organic material is taken out of its original context and given a new life through the artist’s process of re-elaboration. The oblong terracotta vases impose themselves not only as a container but as an expression of an always unique and different form interacting with the floral elements reworked in resin.
