Corrado Levi Painting Exhibit

Exhibition open:
20 July to 11 September 2009
Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm

Corrado Levi's work on display was completed in Marrakech over the past years. It is made up of a series of pictures on both sids of trapezoid tablets used for sacred drawings and writings. Here Levi modifies this tradition by engraving and painting parts of the human body: a torso, an arm, a leg, a knee, an elbow and so on, in red, blue, black, changing model with each color. Thus, the work breaks the unity of an individual body and compares various bodies in various colors. An etched line runs along the border, highlighting the tablets themselves while the pictures fill in the interior like footprints and like a disarticulated epiphany of bodies.

Corrado Levi is an artist, an art writer and professor of Architectural Composition at Milan's Department of Architecture. He attempts to find methodological similarities among the various subjects he studies. He lives and works in Milan, Turin and Marrakech.
