Fred Duignan – Transcending Chaos
Mostra personale.
Comunicato stampa
Castello 925 presents the paintings of the late New York artist Fred Duignan, curated by Sara Lynn Henry. Duignan's work is known not only for its variety of textures, washes and techniques, but also for its powerful abstract imagery. The paintings in this exhibit represent the last few years of work after receiving his cancer diagnosis. According to the curator,
"Duignan took a collaborative role with paint itself, allowing it to flow, skein, drip, puddle, considering it to be an “animal, fiery with purpose...ignoring all rules, unafraid”, consequently imbuing his artworks with an insistent energy.

ABOUT CASTELLO 925:
Castello 925 is a multi-disciplinary, non-profit gallery which serves as a crucible for the visual arts, literature and culture. Founder Luca Caldironi envisioned a space dedicated to creativity, or rather cre-activity. Castello 925 is a gallery where experimental expressions of all kinds come to meet, collaborate, improvise, produce and construct; a place to present "finished" works that were built elsewhere, yet also a space where new ideas and new co-operations come to life.
