Francesco SOMAINI – Galleria Mazzini, Genoa

The web section “Mosaics” has been updated adding the art works designed by the Italian artist Francesco Somaini for the Galleria Mazzini in Genoa (Italy).

They are four large mosaics realized by Lino Reduzzi and based on the original sketches drawn by the artist. These works are located in the sandstone flooring of the gallery and were inaugurated during the G8 reunion in Geona (July 2001).

These octagonal art works (side 122 inches – surface 45 square meters each) are situated in correspondence of the four glass crowns of the gallery. Thanks to the close collaboration with Somaini, Lino Reduzzi accurately chose seventeen types of marble and developed a specific mosaic weaving in order to permit the most accurate realization of the original sketches. The artist also enhanced his drawings with gold inserts that were realized with chiseled bronze tesserae. The mosaics were produced in Lino Reduzzi’s workshop, then transported, installed in the flooring of the gallery and finally polished.

The entire project was made possible thanks to the donations of Carige Foundation, Chamber of Commerce and Trametal S.p.A. (Genoa).

Eugenio CARMI – The restless transparency

The web section “Glasses” has been updated adding the series La trasparenza inquieta / The restless transparency by the Italian artist Eugenio Carmi.

It is a series of 11 glass works realized by Lino Reduzzi in the period 2011-2013 and based on the original sketches drawn by the artist. The realization process changes from work to work: the colored mouth-blown glass was differently treated (etched with acid, painted with glazes, silver salts and grisaille, fired and leaded) in order to permit the most accurate realization of the original drawings.

Some of these glasses were exhibited in the show Ragione e spiritualità / Reason and spirituality, held at the Italian Cultural Institute “C. M. Lerici” in Stockholm (Sweden). The entire series was exhibited for the very first time in Italy in the solo show La trasparenza inquieta / The restless transparency, held at the ex Galleria del Deposito in Boccadasse (Genoa, Italy).
