The Beauty of Ordinary Things
Would Beauty be a human need? Much is still being discussed in the artistic world about the relationship between beauty, or the lack of it, and art. True treatises have already been written about the role of art in relation to breaking standards, the search for new aesthetic values, or simply an attempt to shock society with increasingly daring and disruptive performances. The truth is that, since Duchamp, this is nothing new. Many scholars today have turned their eyes once again to this theme and concluded that, perhaps, beauty is simply a human need.
More than the aesthetics of the “perfect body”, more than mathematical standards, the search for symmetry or the harmonic balance of asymmetry, or even the secrets of the Fibonacci sequence, the truth is that at some point or another we seek satisfaction and rest in beauty. , even in the simplest and most commonplace things, whether in the decoration of our homes, in the organization of our garden or even in that favorite dish to drink your favorite tea.
I want to invite you to revisit the beauty of simple everyday things. That motivation that made the great masters of the present and the past portray everything from a still life arrangement to Monet's private gardens. I want to invite you to convey a place of daily rest in the form of painting, even in the face of the constant dissonances of the modern world.
At the conclusion of this exhibition, I can only say that I am very grateful for the opportunity to discover the work of so many artists from so many different countries. Each one with their own technique, with their own point of view, their own stories to share. I am very happy to be part of this movement, where we were able to sharpen our eyes to pay attention to the beauties that surround us in our daily lives. I believe it is a very important exercise in an artist's life, the act of telling a story, or highlighting something valuable, even if born from the simplicity of the most common things in life. Our life needs this, the act of bringing unnoticed values to light and finding true hidden treasures. Our life needs more life. I will be paying attention to your names and the exhibitions in our beloved gallery. I can't wait to see what else comes next!
