All the "Possible Worlds" by Eliseo Mattiacci
The cellar Icario, an original production complex inserted in the beautiful Val d'Orcia between splendid vineyards, presents the new exhibition of Eliseo Mattiacci, "Mondi Possibili", which is visible until April the 30th.
Almost referring to the idea of Leibniz concerning the existence of infinite possible worlds, Mattiacci propose a path divided between internal and external, between earth and sky, in an ideal continuous ascent, presenting a series of works which have as main theme the relationship between man and cosmos.
Eliseo Mattiacci, who made his debut in 1967 at the historic Roman art gallery "La Tartaruga", is a leading exponent of Arte Povera (poor art), presents thirty works on paper and different creations placed in distinctive areas of the cellar: to be mentioned, "Way of heaven", with its steel tracks pointed to the sky," Heavenly Body", an agglomeration of metal shavings to form a hemisphere that implies the chaos of the single element combined in a multitude of relationship, and equipment for observing the universe.
Of course, the sculptures offer an observation of the universe that actually aims to "imagine", to see what each of us has within. It searches the sky, actually, to know ourselves.
