Overview
Paolo Vegas: Slow Art Souls, I luoghi dove l'Amore deve fuggire, Faenza

Paolo Vegas' solo exhibition "SLOW ART SOULS - I luoghi dove l'Amore deve fuggire" (SLOW ART SOULS - The places where Love must flee) will be held at Art Deposit in Faenza from 18 May to 8 June 2024. His iconic works interpret some verses by Emanuele Paolombari, a poet from the Marche region.

The installation sees Vegas's works, almost all in 30 x 30 cm format, placed together with the poetry they are inspired by.

Emanuele Palombari tells us in the introduction to the catalogue:

"Does Love have a meaning? Does it have a well-defined sense: a clear direction in which to go or flee?

It is a road, it is a word, an image; what is the place where Love is forced to flee?

And why? And from whom does it flee?

Is an image a place? Is it a word? Are both?

Is art the place of Love's refuge or is it from where Love runs away to make itself life, to make itself real?

This artistic experience, a union of poetry and image that mutually accompany, stimulate, support, collide, and embrace each other, is a metaphor for the meeting of two people, two worlds that do not converge but create a whole new one: a place to count on, with eyes closed, giving Love time to re-hide, to re-escape."

Paolo Vegas interprets the words of the Marche poet through strongly evocative works that stimulate reflection in the observer.

What is certainly striking is that red heart, almost a fleeting stamp that materialises on a two- and three-dimensional plane. In other works, it is poetry itself that constitutes the three-dimensional part of Paolo Vegas's works.

On the occasion of the exhibition and of Buongiorno Ceramica, an international event that the city of Faenza will host on the 18th and 19th of May 2024, an unprecedented production of ceramics by Paolo Vegas will be presented to the public for the first time.

A new technical and stylistic research that the artist has enthusiastically carried out, giving space to his creativity, but always remaining faithful to his work made of three-dimensionality and objects that merge with the artwork.

Paolo Vegas has been represented for several years by the Contini Art Gallery, an association of great prestige for the artist that has allowed him to realize important exhibitions in the Gallery's spaces, including 'Stories of People and Things' in 2019 and 'The Charm of Appropriation' in 2023.

The latest solo exhibition is being held alongside his artist friend Enzo Fiore, who is also represented by the Contini Art Gallery.
