Pictorial images extracted from reality, made up of overlaps, intertwining architectural structures, contrasts of light and color, combinations of unusual shapes and perspectives. Photographer Carlo D’Orta’s exploration of geometric abstraction through the lens of his camera is the focus of the free exhibition hosted by Palazzo Esposizioni in the Sala Fontana.
Large-format works by Carlo D’Orta, born in Florence in 1955, are displayed in important institutional venues, including the Bank of Italy’s Congress Centre in Rome, the Chamber of Deputies, the Central State Archives Museum and the Consulate General of Italy in New York, as well as in many private collections in Italy and abroad.
The exhibition curated by Fabio Mongelli, promoted by the Department of Culture of Roma Capitale and Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, displays the photographic series Biocities, Geometrie Still Life, Vibrazioni and Paesaggi Surreali. The abstract art of Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko and Peter Halley, the photography of Franco Fontana and Lucien Hervé, and, in part, the metaphysical visions of Giorgio de Chirico are the sources of inspiration for the first two series. The Vibrazioni and Paesaggi Surreali series, on the other hand, are dedicated to a search for images of informal or surrealist abstraction: crystal and metal surfaces reflect and distort the surrounding architecture, producing unpredictable plays of shapes, lights and colors.
