BRUN FINE ART - SUMMER EXHIBITION
The exhibition brings together works created across distant centuries yet united by a shared aspiration: the search for what lies beyond the visible.
The gold-ground paintings, produced between the second half of the 14th century and the 15th century by masters such as Luca di Tommè, Francesco di Michele, Álvaro Pirez d’Évora, and Tommaso de Vigilia, represent one of the highest achievements of Italian painting between the Late Gothic and the Early Renaissance periods. In these works, gold is not merely a decorative element; it creates a space suspended between matter and transcendence, projecting the image beyond the earthly realm.
Centuries later, artists such as Piero Dorazio, Corrado Cagli, Lucio Fontana, Roberto Crippa, Mario Schifano, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Mirko Basaldella, Georges Mathieu, Gio Ponti, Gio Pomodoro, and Giorgio de Chirico engage, through diverse visual languages, with universal themes such as space, light, mystery, and presence. This dialogue is further enriched by the work of ABI, a contemporary brand that employs stone as a material of memory, translating its historical stratification into essential forms.
The comparison is grounded neither in stylistic affinities nor in a contrast between the ancient and the contemporary. Rather, it reveals a continuity of thought: the desire to transcend the limits of representation and materiality in order to give form to the indefinable.
Between the preciousness of gold, the strength of stone, and the essentiality of modern visual language, the exhibition unfolds as a journey spanning more than six centuries of art history, demonstrating how the pursuit of the absolute continues to renew itself across time.
