This seems to be the question asked by the collective exhibition After Reminiscence, curated by a promising Federico Montagna in the spaces of the Cassina Projects gallery in Milan. The unpublished works of eight young artists (all born between 1990 and 2001) confront each other precisely on the idea of reminiscence which, as the curator explains, “is projected on the one hand towards the concept of a collective memory, an inexhaustible pool from which artists draw to expand their vision, on the other it is the founding paradigm of every individual critical thought, of every expressive language and autobiographical past”.
Aronne Pleuteri likes to play with pictorial media: on his canvases, the encounter of acrylic, oil and pastels generates chaotic compositions on the border between abstraction and figuration, in which tragedies such as those encountered by the bicycle protagonist of the Man vs Wheel triptych are overturned by bright colors and almost cartoonish deformations.
