An Italian artist based mostly in Berlin, Agostino Iacurci is understood for his monumental frescos. He creates works for personal or public institutions from Taipei to London, and even Las Vegas, but it will be a shame to overlook his achievements on a extra human scale, the place he questions the notion of art, like “Gypsoteca,” an set up introduced in 2018 in Milan. This exhibition facilities across the Greco-Roman sculpture: a representation of history which is summarized in our minds, wrongly, with plenty of immaculate white marble. Nevertheless, it is now proven that the sculptures have been very colourful. It's to this polychrome universe that Iacurci pays homage, via a private and modern catalog of the previous, removed from neoclassicism and traditional monochromy. The Italian takes us into a parallel universe the place shade is taken into account an archaic image and, at the similar time, a up to date actuality populated by virtual ghosts with which to coexist. The program consists of columns with capitals and busts in the form of sculptures and work. In certainly one of his newest tasks, “Hortus,” introduced within the baroque chapel of the Italian Cultural Middle in Prague, it's the image of the Fountain of Youth, a recurring theme in the history of artwork, that the artist has chosen to explore.
