Delineo: Italia Bellissima meets Valerio Berruti. Featuring works by regional ceramic and textile artisans selected by architect Andrea Capellino and site specific art created by Valerio Berruti.
The show brings to Los Angeles for the first time handmade creations, fabrics and ceramics from the diverse regions of Italy, part of the project Italia Bellissima by the architect Andrea Capellino, as well as frescoes, drawings, tapestries and a sculpture by the painter and sculptor Valerio Berruti, internationally renowned for his direct approach, essential lines and everyday subjects.
I am enthusiastic to collaborate in this project – declares Valerio Berruti – because I maintain the importance of dialog between art and handicraft. As classical art influenced craftspeople, I believe it is important to champion a new concept of handicraft that is the child of contemporary art with roots in the past but living in the present.
Opening on March, 1st, by invitation only.
