The Michela Rizzo Gallery in Venice opens the exhibition of Silvano Tessarollo, ‘Nulla Nasce Dal Nulla’ on Saturday 2nd June 2016, curated by Andrea Lerda. This is the second exhibition of the artist at the gallery. On this occasion, the show will be in dialogue with the great Dutch master Hermann de Vries.
Through evocative works, replete with strong symbolic reminders, the exhibition will be revolved around that which Duccio Demetrio defined as the ‘religion of the earth.’ Departing from the fundamental principle that ‘nothing is born from nothing', described by Lucrezio in his De Rerum Natura, Tessarollo here elevates the earth, using it to create his works and exalting it to the status of a true work of art. Through a lay devotion to this material, the artist inevitably causes us to reflect on the relationship between man and nature and on the transient nature of this.
Mediated by a dialogue with Hermann de Vries, the project is replete with a sense of spirituality. As found in a Zen garden, here we are invited to listen and absorb the silence. The exhibition represents an artistic manifestation that hopes to awaken in all of us a new level of contact with the natural elements and with the earth upon which we walk.
