In May 2015, as Milan prepares for Expo, Amalart returns to work with Luxus and brings art to the Boscolo Hotel, a five-star hotel a short walk from Palazzo Reale that periodically hosts exhibitions and keeps in its rooms works by masters linked to Milanese culture, such as Sironi and Fontana.
The vernissage brings together three artists, two sculptors and a painter. Claudio Capotondi, born in Tarquinia in 1937 and active in Pietrasanta, near the Carrara quarries, presents his bronzes alongside the drawings from which they originate: geometric forms that open like metal flowers, displayed in the showcases and on the tables of the rooms. Daphné Du Barry, a Dutch sculptor trained between Paris and Florence, brings her classical figuration, grounded in harmony and proportion.
On the walls are the paintings of Giuseppe Linardi, who works in Tuscany. His technique starts from a hyperrealist image and breaks it down into brushstrokes and abstract marks: faces and figures emerge only on close looking, and the work changes depending on the distance from which it is viewed.
The vernissage is followed by the fashion show of designer Elena Savò, with a group of brands partnering the evening. Art, fashion and design meet in the same space, in the spirit that Milan lives in those weeks on the eve of Expo.
It is the second collaboration with Luxus, after Christmas at Atelier Milano the previous December, and the first of the events Amalart brings to the Boscolo during the months of Expo.
