Ugo Riva, 1951

Ugo Riva nasce a Bergamo nel 1951. Sin dall'inizio della sua carriera sperimenta diversi materiali, dal cemento alla pietra, dal marmo al egno, ma sarà con l'argilla che incontrerà la sua maggiore affinità. Questo materiale grazie alla sua malleabilità gli consentirà di rappresentare i segni, le vibrazioni e le passioni dei soggetti che ispirano le sue sculture. Ugo Riva ha tenuto, dal 1973 ad oggi, oltre trenta mostre personali in Italia e all'estero.

Siegfried Zademack, 1952 | Surrealist / Visionary painter

Siegfried Zademack, German painter, was born in Bremen, Germany. Freelance artist since 1980. Several artshows of his work in and outside his homecountry. Siegfried Zademack's surrealistic visionary paintings make recipients and reviewers wonder.

The arrangement of his pictorial thoughts immensely exceeds a realistic reproduction. His pictures allow us to slip in metaphysical dimensions, between humorous irony and the unfathomable deepness of our souls.

The semantic sources of this art are equally past and present.The quotation from art history stands alongside the Coca-Cola bottle. His true teachers were the masters of the earl and late Italien Renaissance up to the Mannerists.

Mélanie Bourget, 1972 | Ceramic sculptures

Mélanie Bourget’s work focuses on the human being. She creates Figurative sculptures in a contemporary yet a little offbeat style, oscillating between Realism and Fantasy.

Then she subjects them to the raku technique. Big busts of women with crazy hairstyles, mysterious and dreamy little characters are in a few words the poetic and fragile characters that live in her world.

Raku is an enamelling technique of Korean origin, that was further developed in Japan in the sixteenth century.

These creatures are alive; they transmit deep and mixed feelings.

And through the cracks of glaze we can see with accuracy the human soul…

Mélanie thinks of her mysterious characters as poetic, fragile creatures that transmit deep feelings.

Through her art they come alive and through the cracks of their glaze we see the human soul.
