Making ceramics is therefore synonymous with wisdom, knowledge of the chemistry of the elements and the techniques to achieve a certain result.

All these characteristics belong to the ceramic artists offered in the gallery who shape their sculptures; this is how Michele Fabbricatore's works come to life, delicate in their soft colors and characterized by a careful use of green. Literary themes and references are reinterpreted with irony and creativity by the artist, his ability as an attentive narrator gives the viewer the possibility of catapulting himself into the themes addressed with new attention and wonder.

Debora Ciolli's ceramics tell her world, her being in close contact with nature, with the sea and animals. The choice of clay, engobe, majolica, stoneware are techniques that she uses expertly to create sculptures inside her laboratory overlooking the Tuscan sea. Her works are present as street furniture and exhibited in art galleries in Italy and abroad. For some years she has also dedicated herself to creating bronze sculptures of her characters.

Marina Rizzelli's women are works that represent her in toto: they are strong, decisive, determined, sinuous and elegant in their appearance. The continuous learning of new ceramic techniques and the desire to experiment have allowed her sculptures to reach a high level of technical and executive refinement.

Nadia Allario, heir to the Savona ceramic tradition, makes executive technique one of her main objectives: her pop ceramics are glazed to perfection. She has become a master craftsman and after winning numerous awards in 2019 she was chosen for the Cluj Biennial in Romania.

The opening hours of the gallery located in Sanremo in via Roma 50 are as follows: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3.30 pm to 7.00 pm; Tuesday and Thursday from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm and Saturday from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm and from 3.30 pm to 7.00 pm.

We are happy to highlight the personal exhibition of our artist Carla Benvenuto "It was enough to open your wings to discover that you could fly" at the Monumental Greenhouse of the Villa Negrotto Cambiaso Park in Genoa as part of the Florarte event which will be held from 25 to 28 April

Giovanni Novaresio was born in Naples (1919), but his name is inextricably linked to the history of contemporary art in Genoa. In fact, in this city he attended the Ligustica Academy of Fine Arts, an institution which in 1947 nominated him as an academic of merit.

After the war, together with the sculptor Sandro Cherchi, he founded the Genova e l'Isola gallery, a point of reference for the avant-garde artists of the Ligurian capital: Novaresio became a point of reference for many young people, such as Giannetto Fieschi who declared many years later "I met Giovanni Novaresio . I owe a lot to him. He instructed me in the principles and gave a lot ”. From 1954 he stayed repeatedly in Somalia, which became his second homeland: he obtained commissions for numerous public works in this nation, which inspired the canvases that most distinguish his production: the young Somali girls and the shepherds identified his painting so much so that he was known as “John the African”.

Having returned to Italy, in 1965 he painted the large fresco for the church of Santa Teresa di Albaro (Genoa), collaborating with his friend Lorenzo Garaventa who designed the main altar. His painting in this period is directed towards abstraction: the artist expresses himself with an original style, somewhere between geometric and informal. Over time, aniconic shapes lose rigidity until they become explosions of color.

A tireless researcher, he passed away in 1997, while he was working on the preparation of a solo exhibition, held posthumously (Godiasco, 1997).

Ciocio was born on 23 January 1953 in Pavia, self-taught, he has always dedicated himself to painting.
His love for art and color was born from his mother, who graduated from the Brera Academy in the 1940s and from the teachings received from Professor and art critic Lodovico Magugliani, teacher at the Voghera classical high school from which Ciocio graduated. His paintings take inspiration from nature and are pervaded by a rhythmic sense that marks the space, as the art critic Donatella Volonté explains well «His flowers, the fish, the more abstract compositions – all acrylics on paper, rarely on canvas - reveal a rigorous construction: it is not a question of symmetry, rather of rhythmic succession, of non-apparent geometries, of a spatial and temporal dimension in the repetition of motifs, which speak of his scientific training, which does not admit the supremacy of chance.»
Again to quote the words of Donatella Volonté «Color is the true leitmotif and the hallmark of her painting is the intense, at times exuberant, chromaticism, dominated by the fundamental colours: yellows, blues and reds which rarely leave room for complementary ones and which impose themselves pure and bright»

Below is the full text by Donatella Volontè describing Ciocio and his painting

«I have always thought that artistic creation, in any manifestation, is a necessity for those who practice it: when it becomes a profession, we find ourselves faced with an artist; when, on the contrary, we witness the making of art by an individual who uses it occasionally, what appears to us is the expression of an intellectual and emotional need, an essential need for those who practice it, even if occasionally, to give shape and communicate a own vision.
Making art is a practice that does not end in the pleasure of doing it, except in cases where the products remain unknown to most people; when, however, there is a desire to show the results of one's creativity, the creator betrays the need to share his thoughts on things and the world.

And so we come to Ciocio, to his painting so coherent in the narration of his feelings that, over the years, we find the same images, the same motifs, the identical allusions to a world of nature always thought of and never truly realistic. His flowers, fish, more abstract compositions - all acrylics on paper, rarely on canvas - reveal a rigorous construction: it is not a question of symmetry, rather of rhythmic succession, of non-apparent geometries, of a spatial and temporal dimension in repetition of the reasons, which speak of his scientific training, which does not admit the supremacy of chance.

But, beyond the subjects, what constitutes the true leitmotif and signature of his painting is the intense, at times exuberant chromaticism, dominated by the fundamental colours: yellows, blues and reds which rarely leave room for complementary ones and which impose themselves as pure and bright. His compositions reveal an intense vitalism, an ideal aspiration for a harmonious existence; if one wanted to attempt an aesthetic reading, and a harmony with the great masters, in Ciocio's case one would have to resort to the joie de vivre of Matissi's memory: his humanity - always underlying - suffers neither history nor existence but, at the on the contrary, it betrays the euphoria of becoming and the manifestation of positive nature.

This, therefore, is the message, this is the necessity of his artistic work and his communication: an unlimited trust in nature - of which humans are a part - positive, benevolent, perhaps an echo of a supra-material reflection but still always creative and fruitful.»
Donatella Volontè

Born in Ancona in 1975, Diego Santini had a strong artistic sense from an early age, demonstrating eclecticism and versatility in the field of visual art from painting to illustration. After obtaining his art school diploma he attended illustration courses to perfect his technique; he therefore participates in numerous collective and personal exhibitions in which his works are characterized by vague and fleeting atmospheres, dreamy and at the same time ironic characters.

His works are part of private collections and since 2015 he has collaborated regularly with the Ferretti Gallery in Macerata.
