As part of the exhibition, Made in Italy: Aprile-Corni-Frangi, at Sakshi Gallery, three Italian artists will exhibit their artworks in the city. Through their displays, they hope to bridge the divide between India and Italy with the intent to showcase art as a universal medium
While Mumbaikars may be familiar with Italian artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, art lovers will now get a taste of new-age ideas as three artists will descend upon the city, come August 26. Sakshi Gallery is hosting Made in Italy, an exhibition showcasing artworks by Antonella Aprile, Azelio Corni and Giovanni Frangi; the event is curated by Caterina Corni.
Meet the artists
One of the highlights of the exhibition is Aprile’s video animation, titled The Happening Beyond the Time, where Lord Shiva is depicted explaining the quantum theory as he performs his cosmic Tandav dance. “I am influenced by religion, science and how these two worlds can meet. So, I look for an image, a vision to find them at the same time without a clear distinction between one and the other,” she says.
