“Nature Interpreted – From Gino Rossi to Cracking Art” is an exhibition that brings together artists and diverse visual languages, all united by a single common thread: the relationship between humans and nature.
Curated by art critic Antonella Alban (head of the “Luigi Cima” Historical Archive) and organized in collaboration with Cracking Art and the Fondazione Cittadellarte, with the patronage of the municipality, the exhibition creates a dialogue between artists from different periods and artistic languages, placing nature at the center as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and research.
The exhibition (open Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm, as well as Friday from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm) aims to trace the evolution of the artistic gaze on nature. It begins with figures deeply connected to the Treviso area such as Gino Rossi and Giovanni Barbisan, interpreters of a lived and internalized landscape, and moves toward more emotional and chromatic visions represented by the works of Gina Roma and Olimpia Biasi.
The journey continues through the experimental approaches of the late 20th century, with artists such as Riccardo Licata, Achille Perilli, Giorgio Griffa, Emilio Isgrò, and Gualtiero Nativi, who redefined the codes of representation by opening new perspectives between sign, form, and concept. A significant section is dedicated to the “Nature Carpets” by Piero Gilardi, iconic works that transform the environment into a tangible experience.
The final part of the exhibition leads visitors into contemporary art, exploring industrial materials and new interpretations of the concept of beauty with artists such as Marco Lodola, Santorossi, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and the Cracking Art collective.
