Amalart's role
co-organisation of the exhibition, with artistic direction by Eugenio Lanzetta

In May 2017 Amalart arrives in Wuhan, the large capital of Hubei, in central China. The One Space Gallery, in the Yezhihu West Road creative district, one of the largest artists' communities in the region, invites Amalart to present two Italian artists. The exhibition is organised together with a Hubei cultural company and the magazine "艺术+", with Professor Zhou Feng as general curator and Eugenio Lanzetta as artistic director.

Vito Carta, born in Milan in 1957, is a professional photographer and has exhibited as an artist since 1995. His work starts from photography but passes through painting and manual intervention, to build images suspended between personal memory and reality. Stefania Pinsone, who trained in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and in Art History at the University of Rome, paints by hand, with acrylic and a fine brush, images taken from social networks, dating sites and the media, reproducing even their digital flaws: pixels, compression artefacts, colour aberrations, the "like" and loading symbols.

In the gallery rooms the two languages answer each other: photography that becomes painting in Carta, painting that imitates the digital image in Pinsone. In the same days, in the One Space spaces, Amalart also presents the exhibition of Michel Aubéry with Giuliano Grittini as special guest.
