classic art — contemporary vision
Exhibit Review - Galleria Sant'Isaia (Bologna, Italy) - 1993
Carla Mazzucato speaks of her paintings as an intimate diary, memories of her journeys and her emotions. She paints in oil and makes woodcut prints, opening her artistic expression to a wide range of possibilities. She ably blends the emotional and spiritual aspects of her own personality in a perceptive yet subtle manner.
The Gallery Sant'Isaia (#5 St. Isaia Street in Bologna) presents through February 11th, the artwork of the Italian-American artist. Some of the most pronounced stylistic elements of her paintings stem from post-impressionist art; while the artistry of her woodcut prints and graphics embrace Expressionist roots. Therefore, to describe fully her artistic language, one must speak of both warm and tender tones as well as the dynamic harmony of color and imagery that suggest a powerful vision. There is an abstract quality in her work that makes it timeless, and yet maintains a definite connection with the places imbued with intense significance.
The exhibit features images of Eastern Europe, Russian landscapes, cathedrals and domes, town squares and crowds. All are images gathered by the artist during her journey into the former Soviet Union in the summer of 1991.
