OPENING: 15 September 2022 from 3 to 11 pm From 15 September to 8 October 2022 Biasutti & Biasutti gallery pays homage to the artist Gabriele Turola (Ferrara, 1945 - 2019). A twenty works anthology illustrates his world dedicated to nature which has always characterized his paintings through stories and poetic interpretations. There are many references to past centuries’s characters and masterpieces that have animated various cultures, first of all that of Este. The figure of Gabriele Turola is considered in the contemporary context as an artist with gentle ways. Everything observed is reinterpreted according to traditional rules, with brushes and palette, and profound respect for everything that everyday life offers. An old-fashioned man and artist, he made colors and canvases a reason for living. The exhibition is a beautiful journey, a long story, animated by countless imaginary worlds and fantasies in which, today more than ever, it would be nice to get lost a bit. He attended the "Ludovico Ariosto" high school and the "Dosso Dossi" Art Institute of Ferrara. Thanks to his father Bruno, he met de Chirico, Morandi, Annigoni, Guidi, Saetti and Carlo Levi. In 1992 he published the book of poems: The voice of things. The meeting with Lisa Ponti in 1993 opened up new artistic horizons for him. Turola began working for Franco Toselli's gallery in Milan in 1994. In 1998 he held a solo show at the Ca 'di Fra' gallery in Milan, and again in 2002 at the Toselli gallery. He has exhibited at the Victor Saavedra in Barcelona, Col in Tokyo, Ippolito Simonis in Paris. His artistic production blends the stimuli that come to him from the avant-gardes: Futurism, Abstractionism, Surrealism, reinterpretation of comics in a Pop key. The protagonist of his paintings is precisely the color, intended as a medicine that consoles and brings joy, for which natural images, women, animals, plants, minerals and even machines become a pure pretext to express the mystery of the world. Until the 8TH of October 2022
