On 2 April 2016 Amalart brings art onto a pavement in Rome, in the Talenti district, in front of the Carrefour Market in via Ugo Ojetti. For one day the supermarket's outdoor space becomes an open-air gallery: pallet structures assembled on site, Gianni Corrado's canvases hung on the raw wood and, at the centre, an easel where the artist paints live.
Gianni Corrado, born in Desio in 1971, is a self-taught painter who has developed a hyperrealist airbrush technique. His subjects are above all women's faces, in black and white with touches of red, at once elegant and restless. During the afternoon the public could follow a work from beginning to end: from the first marks on the blank canvas to the skull completed in the evening.
The pop-up format, short and informal, made it possible to bring art where it is not expected and to have it meet those who came in to do their shopping. The event took place with the support of Carrefour.
