Uroboros

Alessandro Albanese Gallery is pleased to announce Uroboros, a collective exhibition featuring artworks by Vincenzo Rusciano, Kristian Sturi and Ivano Troisi. The exhibition, curated by Daniele Capra, is the first step of a three-part project on the theme of change, the second will be hosted by Nicola Pedana Gallery in Caserta.

Uroboros presents a selection of works by the three artists whose researches all originate in a strong inner speculation and have often taken on the themes of mutation, metamorphosis and change of state. Traces of this reflection are laid down both in the genesis of the creative/imaginative process that precedes the realization, as well as in the ways in which the work takes shape and manifests itself in the world, developing through germination, offshoots, unexpected leaps or sudden material changes. Since ancient times, the uroboros, the symbolic animal in the shape of a snake or crocodile which bites its own tail, has been used to symbolically represent the eternity and continuity of the cosmos, thanks to the inexhaustible cycle of change due to the dynamic head -tail. But the snake that eats its tail is also an emblem of the alternation of opposite conditions, such as death and rebirth, darkness and light, the feminine and masculine, whose limits are continually generated and redefined.
