about.

STUDIO STEFANIA MISCETTI is pleased to host the fourth solo show of Gian Domenico Sozzi (Cremona, 1960) titled so it goes. The new works presented in the show develop from his previous Lacrimosa, recently shown in Berlin, soon after a series of important one-man-shows at Galleria Civica Montevergini in Siracusa, London, and Milan.

In his latest practice the artist focuses on fragmentary narratives or objects found by chance. Resulting from fortuitous encounters and snaps, the combination for these two elements emphasizes the relationship between casual events and the ordinary course of day-to-day life. The objects, the images, the characters and their history tells about identities in their shaping captured in that very instant when everything is possible. In so it goes, a series of ceramic trays becomes container of causal effects to which colors interventions are added, evoke both poetically and ironically, a way to transmit the experience of nothingness.

“The most frontal work I ever did, laid on the floor to welcome, from the drops to mardì gras, container full of promises, fragments of color, matter’s remains, what nature, that is life, leale as whom wants to cooperate to defining a shifting landscape, unpredictable and sometimes playful, because the Almight is merciful for what sometimes enables us to forgive (Chaim Potok).”
