Anna Capolupo. TorinoNowhere

From Thursday, June 5, 2014, with the inauguration of the area of ??Via Eusebio Bava 8/a, the Burning Giraffe Art Gallery ( BU.G ) presents its first exhibition: an investigation of painting that addresses the places of the urban periphery, factories, construction sites, landfills, intendendoli in their sense of architecture unconscious citizen.
The star of the show is the young artist Anna Capolupo ( Lamezia Terme, 1983), graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and already protagonist of the 2013 traveling exhibition of MACA Young at Art (Museum of Contemporary Art Acre).
Through a realistic painting, full of truth rough resulting in vivid colors that highlight the architecture suburban portrayed with strict geometry, and scratches and cuts that will return the texture, the artist examines and measures the "non-places" in Turin, those metropolitan areas that, at first glance, may belong to any city. The series of paintings in the exhibition ( until Friday, July 18) is presented as a collection of postcards of places without a name. They are evidence of a lively and constantly changing: the skeletons of huge factories lose their primary function becoming suburban containers dedicated to leisure activities; the wild vegetation of the banks of a river does impromptu landfill accepting the waste inherent in a sudden change; power plants, the beating hearts of the metropolitan body, which welcome visitors at the entrance of the city, go unnoticed despite their size. TorinoNowhere - this is the title of the exhibition - not meant to be an investigation into the metropolitan bad , but an attempt to bring to the surface and enhance pictorially those places, those architectures , the signs that characterize the mutations that live in the subconscious of every inhabitant of the city, are intimate marked its industrial past and the present , and the future of the ongoing architectural changes.
The exhibition is the first of two chapters on pictorial survey of metropolitan places of the unconscious. The second, also signed by Anna Capolupo, will take place between May and June of 2015, and will focus on the city of Berlin.
