Terzo catalogo del progetto ArtevitA, a cura della galleria Art&Co e in collaborazione con Spirale Milano. Un progetto che pone al suo centro i valori dell'uomo, la bellezza, il tempo, la natura, attraverso un ciclo di mostre ed eventi con grandi protagonisti dell'arte visiva contemporanea, artisti diversi per stile e formazione. Dopo Elvio Marchionni e Isabella Traglio Vismara, è la volta dell'artista di origine albanese Helidon Xhixha, il quale ha approfondito la conoscenza e la pratica delle principali tecniche scultoree prima nello studio del padre, poi all'Accademia di Tirana e poi a Milano, all' Accademia di Brera. A partire da questa fase di formazione ha progressivamente focalizzato la sua ricerca personale scegliendo come campo di azione creativa la scultura in acciaio e arrivando a soluzioni formali inedite. Xhixha ha trovato una strada che in parte ha le sue radici nella tradizione moderna della scultura non figurativa, in particolare quella in ferro, ma che ha soprattutto un'identità molto attuale per la diversità dei processi operativi messi in atto, che nascono da esigenze artistiche in presa diretta con la sensibilità culturale strettamente contemporanea. I suoi lavori hanno un ruolo importante nell'arena internazionale dell'arte: America, Dubai, Germania, Francia, Austria, Inghilterra.

Black Dog Publishing

This is the first monograph on the work of David Whitaker, providing a unique insight into his fascinating career as a painter. Over the course of his career, Whitaker extended the range and resonance of Abstract Art. He has established a reputation through investigating the optical effects of colour in paintings of extraordinary technical accomplishment and daring. The ambition and the control of these strikingly beautiful effects were continuously developed throughout his career. He even managed to achieve his minutely graduated effects in watercolour. David Whitaker was granted a Distinction in Painting from the Royal Academy Schools. In 1970 he became one of the first British artists to have a solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, London. In 1973--on the recommendation of Bridget Riley--he received the Mark Rothko Memorial Award and in 1996 he became one of the first abstract painters to win one of the prestigious Hunting Art Prizes. Whitaker has exhibited worldwide at the Redfern and Hayward galleries, the Barbican, the Groucho Club, the Royal Academy in London, as well as galleries in California, Germany, Sweden and Iceland. With text by writer and journalist Matthew Sturgis, the book is richly illustrated with full-colour images and will inspire anyone with an interest in abstract art and watercolour painting. AUTHOR: Matthew Sturgis is the author of Black Dog Publishing's Paperwork: Peter Clark, and of acclaimed biographies of Aubrey Beardsley and Walter Sickert. He has given lectures at Tate Britain, the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and the Scottish National Gallery, amongst others. He writes regularly for the Daily Telegraph, TLS, Country Life and Burlington Magazine. ILLUSTRATIONS: 120 colour & b/w

The Teaching Tree is a kinetic sculpture by Muhannad Shono created for the Saudi Arabian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (23 April ? 27 November 2022), curated by Reem Fadda. Composed of hundreds of intertwined palm leaves painted black, the work has the appearance of an enormous feathered being, an allusion to the power of nature, an inexhaustible source of mutability and rebirth. The artist?s investigation is rooted precisely in the ancestral force of Nature, in its creative and at the same time destructive potential. The Teaching Tree is a manifestation of the irrepressible creative spirit: the embodiment of a living imagination, which grows despite the teachings that seek to tear it down. Any restrictions on the human mind only create fertile ground for stronger, more resilient forms of expression.00 The catalogue documents the installation with evocative photographs and, more generally, provides insight into Shono?s work through critical essays and an interview with the artist. The contributions delve into some characteristic aspects of his work, such as the use of the colour black, the use of line, the reference to historical and mythological figures and the use of technology, as well as the idea of the garden as a creative space.00Exhibition: 59. Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte. National Pavillon of Saudi Arabia, Venice, Italy (23.04. - 27.11.2022).
