Description
Romana di nascita, Alba Gonzales raduna in sé origini siciliane, greche, spagnole e francesi, con un cosmopolitismo mediterraneo che spiega per alcuni aspetti il patrimonio mitico e mitologico che dà linfa alle sue opere, sotto il segno di un culto sensuale della forma e del corpo umano inteso come tempio dell’anima, nei suoi aspetti positivi e negativi, destinati a convivere indissolubilmente. Proprio per queste radici così legate al Mare nostrum, l’approdo delle sue sculture a Palermo, città “meticcia” per eccellenza, moltiplica gli echi epici ed evocativi delle sue opere, ulteriormente arricchiti dalla sede scelta per la mostra documentata in questo volume, Villa Malfitano della Fondazione Whitaker.
Palermo, Fondazione Whitaker, May 25 - september 30 2018.
Roman by birth, Alba Gonzales has Sicilian, Greek, Spanish and French roots and a Mediterranean cosmopolitanism that in some ways explains the mythical and mythological legacy that energises her work, influenced by a sensual cult of form and the human body understood as a temple of the soul, in both its positive and negative aspects, destined to permanently coexist. Gonzales’ roots, bound as they are to ‘Mare nostrum’ (the ancient name for the Mediterranean), mean that the display of her works in Palermo, the ‘hybrid’ city par excellence, cannot help but multiply their epic and evocative echoes, further enriched by the site chosen for the exhibition documented in this volume, the Fondazione Whitaker - Villa Malfitano.
