{"product_id":"mario-serra-senza-titolo","title":"Mario Serra - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1950s and 1960s, the so-called poetics of the object began to spread in European and American art. Harking back to the readymade of Dadaist memory, a new wave of groups or movements emerged that repurposed everyday objects or discarded materials as works of art. The departure from traditional Dada lay in the strong influence of Abstract Expressionism, which led to the reconfiguration of objects with new languages ​​and new stimuli. In this work, artist Mario Serra begins with a profound meditation on neo-Dadaist aesthetics, proposing an object as a work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn a work like this, artist Mario Serra almost completely blurs the line between reality and representation. What we see before us is, therefore, a true object, elevated to a work of art in its very vividness. However, the importance of the artist's gesture is in no way diminished; the object is pictorially recontextualized, as in the works created by Robert Rauschenberg or Jesper Johns. Unlike the latter, however, Mario Serra's gestures take on a specific meaning. When the artist chooses a musical score, it becomes the medium for composing his visual music, made of color and gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Mario Serra, painter, artist, and sculptor from Campobasso, began painting in 1975 after meeting the painter Innocente Salvini. In 1977, he had his first group exhibition at the Campobasso municipal gallery, along with Pettinicchi, Massa, Genua, Fratianni, Paglione, and Faralli.\u003cbr\u003e \nIn 1979, he held his first solo exhibition in Milan at the Fante di Spade gallery, followed by others in Campobasso, Rieti, and Bern. He devoted himself to painting, writing, and music at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Devietro Christian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218534838658,"sku":"CDEV003","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/serra-scaled.jpg?v=1768473994","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/mario-serra-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
