Throughout his career, Canevari has worked in a variety of media, most notably tyres and inner tubes, painting, drawing, performance, animation and film.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The provocative nature of the artists\u2019 works, his connections to cutting edge fashion (Louis Vuitton and Wearable Art Projects), and his active role within the art scene in New York, where he lived and worked for many years, have kept Canevari in the spotlight of both American and Italian media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cardi Gallery is proud to present the first major solo show of Canevari\u2019s work in the UK, an extensive survey exploring thirty years of the artist\u2019s practice, the culmination of a decades-long collaboration with the gallery. A museum-scale exhibition occupying four floors at Cardi London in Mayfair, \u2018Self-portrait \/ Autoritratto\u2019 brings together over 30 works including sculptures, drawings and installation that range from the artist\u2019s notorious 1990s rubber sculptures through to his most recent ongoing series \u2018Monuments of the Memory: Landscape\u2019 and \u2018Constellations\u2019. Many of the exhibits are shown here for the first time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Self-portrait \/ Autoritratto\u2019 aims to illustrate Canevari\u2019s worldview through the artist\u2019s deeply introspective creative process. It brings to the fore not only a reflection on the self but also, in the artist\u2019s words\u00a0<em>\u201c&#8230;a political reading of making art, intended to measure what Pasolini had defined \u201cthe injustice of the world\u201d. \u201cArt is a democratic, progressive force, so it should ideally serve society, not the powers that be. In my work, the use of icons, symbols, and forms from various cultures is a way of drawing attention to their true meaning, tied to dogmas or other forms of power; they\u2019re a way to open up a dialogue with the viewer and stimulate a reaction.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>[&#8230;] The \u201cpolitical\u201d character of my work is just one of many possible interpretations of what I do.\u201d \u201cWhat I wish to express is a radical, subversive attitude towards art and the idea of art as it has been conceived and conveyed by globalised consumeristic society, therefore raising the level of moral and ethical perception of the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ambiguity of Canevari\u2019s artworks, suspended in their brutalist aesthetic between irony and disquiet, is a successful result of both conceptual and formal transformation of industrial materials. Oil and its applications (synthetic rubber, exhaust motor oil, etc) are at the heart of his vocabulary; in his hands they become ambiguous symbols of the systemic violence that permeates today\u2019s declining world, where the threat of war &#8211; whether in the name of spiritual or monetary values \u2013 is constant and humankind\u2019s memory is tragically too short.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cTo me, an artwork is profoundly important when it does not recoil into a one-way structure &#8211; whether ideological or technical &#8211; but when it opens up to different perspectives for the viewer, therefore broadening their thought.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em>Paolo Canevari<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cCardi Gallery believes that art and culture are key for a healthy society and a ray of hope in these tragic times. I am absolutely delighted to bring to London these incredible works by Paolo Canevari, opening an exciting exhibition season for the gallery.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em>Nicolo Cardi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with an essay by the eminent American curator Robert Storr; an interview with Iranian artist Shirin Neshat and a homage to Canevari by the acclaimed Italian novelist Andrea Camilleri. A series of artist talks, and exhibition tours will be held in conjunction with the show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Open: Monday &#8211; Friday 10am &#8211; 6pm &amp; Saturday 11am &#8211; 5pm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CARDI GALLERY |\u00a0London presenta PAOLO CANEVARI SELF-PORTRAIT \/ AUTORITRATTO 22 Febbraio &#8211; 17 Aprile 2021 Cardi Gallery London 22 Grafton Street | London W1S 4EX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1916,2730],"tags":[22302],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90272"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=90272"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90280,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90272\/revisions\/90280"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/90276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=90272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=90272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.donnecultura.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=90272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
