An artist with a wealth of experiences: a tireless traveler, mountaineer, explorer, and archaeologist. These are just a few facets of the multifaceted personality of Nico Paladini, founder of the Metropolism movement, who will present his works at the Oratorio di San Carlo (Via Testaferrata) from May 19 to 31, as part of the \u201cBego Back2\u201d project, which will feature him as the main artist at the Cappella della Visitazione starting in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening at the San Carlo is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, at 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“La Genesi del Metropolismo\u201d (the title of the exhibition) aims to trace the artistic journey of Nico Paladini, who, after graduating from the Art Institute of Siena and attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence (where his teachers at the time were Virginio Carmignani and Loris Fucini), undertook various professional ventures before turning to painting, which was followed by the development of that thematic and conceptual work that would lead\u2014between the late 1980s and early 1990s\u2014to the founding of the Metropolism painting movement. In addition to numerous solo and group exhibitions and art fairs, Nico Paladini has undertaken humanitarian trips to the war zones of Bosnia and the Libyan Sahara, which, along with other experiences, have served as a valuable source of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy paintings,\u201d the artist observed, \u201cconstitute a language through which to express not only inner aspects, but also\u2014and above all\u2014the outer world, that is, the events and social issues that resonate most deeply in today\u2019s reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in June, Nico Paladini will transform the Chapel of the Visitation into a creative space for experimentation and dialogue between Renaissance art and contemporary languages, setting up a sort of \u201cAtelier\u201d within it that is open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe exhibition at the Oratorio di San Carlo,\u201d emphasizes Franco Spina, Councilor for Culture, \u201cis a valuable opportunity to introduce our community to this extraordinary artist, the founder of Metropolism and one of the leading figures of the Transavantgarde, who has skillfully captured aspects and issues of the contemporary world, drawing in part from his personal experiences. An artist we will have the chance to get to know in depth thanks to the \u201cBeGo Back2\u201d project, which will kick off next month at the Cappella della Visitazione.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition \u201cGenesi del Metropolismo\u201d will remain open until May 31 during the following hours: Wednesday and Thursday 9:00 AM\u20131:00 PM, Friday 9:00 AM\u20132:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 11:00 AM\u20131:00 PM and 3:00 PM\u20137:00 PM. Special openings for In\/Canti and Banchi: Friday, the 22nd, Saturday, the 23rd, and Sunday, the 24th, from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n
