The show

Through more than forty works, the exhibition Full of the eye curated by Saverio Verini offers an insight into the recent artistic production of Enrico Minguzzi (Cotignola, Ravenna, 1981). Paintings and sculptures, created between 2021 and 2022, are set up inside the rooms of the former Convent of San Francesco di Bagnacavallo, which is also located a short distance from the artist's studio.

The title alludes to an overflow, a flood of images and works that, in this kind of translation from the atelier to the exhibition space, fit into the rooms of the former Convent as silent and at the same time showy presences . Minguzzi's paintings can be considered portraits of elements taken from the mineral and vegetable world: elements that refer to stones, concretions, flowers and herbs - all referable to something existing in nature, but in reality the result of a mental projection of the artist. Caught in a kind of stasis, the subjects of the paintings nevertheless seem to pulsate with a mysterious and vibrant light , going beyond the canon of one of the most consolidated pictorial genres, still life. Thanks to the use of almost fluorescent colors, Minguzzi's works free themselves from a more strictly metaphysical figure, acquiring an energetic character capable of lighting up the exhibition spaces .

To the series of paintings, in continuity with his previous production, Minguzzi has chosen to combine a body of unpublished sculptures : through these works, the artist finds a three-dimensional extension to the figures that characterize his own painting - in an almost "inverse process" ”, Which sees the translation of paintings into sculpture and not vice versa -, also experimenting with new techniques and new materials, thus opening up to further developments in his artistic practice.

Enrico Minguzzi (Cotignola, Ravenna, 1981), after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna with a thesis entitled The Inactivity of Painting, moved to Milan where, in 2008, he held his first solo exhibition Liqueforme, at the Cannaviello Art Studio. Since then his works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, including: Last landscapes at the Cassa di Risparmio di Imola Foundation (2019), Fantastic Painters in the Po Valley at the PAC in Ferrara (2020) and Senza Figura at the Monitor gallery , edited by Nicola Samorì (2021). He has created site-specific projects and residences at Areacreativa42 (2019) and Luigi Varoli Civic Museum (2020), where the new cycle of “still life” originated. After receiving awards and special mentions, including the DAMS Award, curated by Renato Barilli, and the National Arts Award, in 2022 he won the third prize of the VAF Foundation Artistic Award and his works became part of the VAF Stiftung Collection . Since 2014, alongside his artistic work, he is a founding member of the MAGMA collective, in which he develops projects that combine visual arts, musical research and territorial investigation.
