The new exhibition season of the ranarossa Gallery will start from 10 February 2024 with the second edition of the collective exhibition entitled RESPIRO.
The breath of the earth, the breath of the sea, the breath of life, everything that lives breathes.
And so let's talk about nature, the environment, ecology, seas and glaciers, birth and death, let's talk about life, BREATH is LIFE, it is the principle.
Impalpable, invisible, silent that of nature, we can hear it in the wind, figure among the leaves or in a flutter of wings..
Ours can be light or deep, long, short, but it is still that breath that we don't pay attention to, and which instead, together with the heartbeat, keeps us alive, accompanies our lives, and abandons us only at the end of our existence.
Breath is the beginning and the end.
It marks our time, it has its own rhythm, like the heart.
We breathe deeply to relax, to concentrate, we can take a breath of relief and feel better, or on the contrary, anguish, fear make us hold our breath.
Present, past and future, breath envelops us, permeates us, it is present everywhere, philosophy, science, literature, poetry.
The music, for example, is full of breaths, as for Battisti and Mogol "Loving yourself a little is breathing", Pink Floyd in Breathe in the air, "breathe in the air and don't be afraid to take care of something" where the breathing can be a return to life through empathy, and again "Stay with me.. Let's just breathe" in Just Breathe by Pearl Jam or Sergio Cammariere who sings "And I can't breathe if you leave", Renato Zero in Friend "you and I breathe the same" or Celentano "while there in the center I breathe the concrete" in The Boy on Via Gluck who already mentioned ecological problems..
And Art, what is it for the artist and how can breathing be represented, with what colours, shapes or images?
Martina Dalla Stella, Cristina Davoli, Paola Geranio, Cristina Iotti, Daniele Milanesi, Ersilia Leonini, Alessandro Monti, Grazia Salierno, Ersilia Sarrecchia, Michele Stagni, Abraham Sidney, Gaetano Tommasi, Gabriele Ugolini, Alberto Zecchini are the artists called to show their idea of RESPIRO in a heterogeneous and singular collective.
