Lato 4 by Velasco Vitali

On 21st April in the Project B /Contemporary Art , in Milan, the painter Velasco Vitali proposes his show made of works drawn on canvass. The pictures represent glimpses and modern and ancient monuments of the city of Milan.

Taking a careful look, we can notice the Pirelli skyscraper, the arena and some of the most famous and important roads of the Lombardia’s capital, from Larga road up till Europa avenue. In this show the artist’s skills of defining the most symbolic places of the economic capital of the country are endless. Every painting tells the sinful succession of nostalgic events in favor of a perception focused more on chaos than on order. This exposition will be open for the public still tomorrow .

Together, Modern, Contemporary, and Anteprima took in Italian and international art from the historic avant-garde to the most recent experimental works, attracting collectors with different interests and backgrounds.

We could see different artworks (paintings, sculptures, photography video and performing art) from modern classic art to contemporary art and anteprima, between which there were artworks from Dorazio, Ceroli, Rotella, Basquiat, Chagall, Balla, Andy Warhol, Lucio Fontana, Enzo Guaricci, Castellani, Yumu Karasumaru, David Raimondo, Sergio Lombardo, Aejandro Quincoces and many others.

During the exposition of Miart, the the prestigious conferences have been included. One of them is “Cina Intra/Extra Ovest,” which was the first event to establish a relationship of dialogue and exchange with China.

This year, the focus of Miart was on Latin America, a group of countries in perennial transformation in which the exigencies of art are defining a political and cultural identity.

First time under the umbrella title “fuoriMiArt-(con)temporary art” an unmissable program that presented the most exciting events in the whole city.

Also, The Miraggi project has grown from the desire of the Milan authority for urban design and parks to restore to its citizens a sense of Milan as a city that experiences art as a necessity, a right, a pleasure: A part of the whole.

For the end, the conclusion could be that Milan and MiArt have won again, that confirm the big interest of qualified public and the positive results of sales.

This exhibition shows several examples of current advertising, but also historical update and export the concept of classical mythology and the iconographic images of modern mass communication. Some casts of classical statues, as a David by Michelangelo and Laocoonte, are getting put in comparison with their current versions and various posters, videos and refresher advertising, to confirm the thesis that the classic doesn’t afraid of rework.
