Olnick Spanu Art Program artist Stefano Arienti’s most recent solo exhibition, Golden Hand, curated by Agata Polizzi, is currently on view until September 22, 2016, at Francesco Pantaleone Contemporary Art Gallery, Palermo.

The project is a retrospective of Arienti’s works. Here in Palermo, he chooses to look back while remaining focused on the present.

In Golden Hand the works bear the marks of Arienti’s historical works. The techniques and media are those which the artist has used since the 1980s. What changes though is the relationship with the image. The subject is the same, but the technique changes.

Always at the center of Arienti’s artistic research, this allows the artist to say “new things” about his personal vision of contemporary culture through elements derived from the most diverse fields.

The techniques and medium are those that the artist has been using ever since the eighties: what changes is the relationship with the image. The subject remains the same, but the technique changes. This approach allows Arienti to say “new things” about his personal vision of contemporary culture, often violent and glaring, yet subjugated by the reckless overlapping of images, thus becoming impossible to interpret and hence devoid of any value. Further information about the show can be found here.

The exhibition has received a very positive review in Exibart.com.
