The exhibition will be opened till October 3rd, closed on Mondays, from 11am to 7pm, and was promoted with the Liquid art system support.
Roberto Ferri has a great painting style that sources from the 17th century tradition, by enhancing the exchange between light and shadow, although inserting modern topics into the ancient style, that is, a dreamlike introspection with a great psychological element – typical of the Surrealism – that discloses the depths of the subconscious and its most obscure mysteries often through an exciting glance. Certainly Ferri is inspired by the Baroque and Caravaggio – especially Caravaggio in his Roman period, the most accomplished one, softer, not yet running away from himself and from life and, therefore, caught up by the frenzy of the end – although he neither merely pursue the tradition nor imitates the style.
