Salvadori and Barberis Artwork
Giovannella Salvadori and Milena Barberis are the two artists behind the exhibitions on Bocconi campus. They can be seen at the Via Sarfatti 25 building, opening Monday 1 March at 6pm. Both will last until 30 April.
Giovannella Salvadori (Sala Ristorante, Mon-Fri, 9am-12pm) has been studying a kind of art which "follows an ideal path that started in primeval mazes, marked by archetypical and esoteric connotations," writes Marilisa Di Giovanni. "She references painters as diverse as Boccioni, Nolde, Soutine and Klee. This evolution gave way to a line of study which combines the use of color with layered and transparent supports or free, unframed and unprocessed canvases, which also reveals the feminine and imaginative – yet mindful – nature of the artist."
Milena Barberis (Sala Soggiorno Foyer, Mon-Fri, 8am-7pm, Sat 8am-3pm) has been working with digital techniques since 2000, "while maintaining a close relationship with my past of painting using paint and colors," she says. "The change wasn't a radical one, and I see the file like a canvas, my tools are like paints, pencils and tubes of colors and the mouse is like another hand ... I think of my work as painterly, even if I always start with photographs."
