I Am Alone Like Clouds & other works features paintings by Francesco Correggia.
Born in 1950 in the city of Catanzaro, Italy, living and working in Milan since 1984, Francesco Correggia is a contemporary artist who has very clear, precious and almost noble references to Romanticism: to paintings of Friedrich, Constable and Turner, as well as to the tradition of visual poetry with such poets as Coleridge, Wordworth, Shelley, Poe. The central work of the show, I AM ALONE, gives title to the whole exhibition and has particular significance to the year 2020.
The works chosen for the exhibition was conceived as a mixture of two universes of Francesco Correggia: artist’s painting and his poetic inner life, they’re indivisible. Correggia’s art opens those horizons from where appear passages of words, poetic references, whispered metaphors that make think of the very meaning of things, of images, trying to intercept visible and invisible, bringing the viewer to say the unsayable.
