Over recent years
I have curated many fine exhibitions
of artwork from individual creators
from all over the world. Through the
great diversity of individual
expression these exhibitions have
grown in size and attention and have
always been well received.
The 2006 show “Magic” at Castello
Estense in Ferrara seemed to
re-awaken an awareness of the great
traditions of art inherent to
Ferrara. The traditionalists with
their superb renderings of reality
echoed the spirit of Cosmé Tura,
while the magic of the metaphysical
and abstraction, reminded us of
Carrŕ and De Chirico.
More recently, at the same venue,
the 2007 exhibition “Spirit” brought
with it a redoubled enthusiasm and
enlightening interchange between the
artists, their public and myself. It
was as if a great discovery of
emotional and spiritual treasure had
been located. As we dug far into the
night (often over good limoncello)
we knew that there was much more to
be unearthed.
I am proud to present to you these
‘Little Treasures’. They are the
results of our intense search
through the magical and spiritual
domains of our existence. Excavated
with deepest thought and care, they
are the polished jewels from each
artist’s heart. Every gem is a fresh
and spontaneous idea before it grows
into something weightier - the rare
pearl discovered deep within the
luscious oyster.
We thank you for your interest and
sincerely hope that you enjoy the
exhibition.
