Reggio Emilia-based Maramotti Collection hosts the exhibition of the Turin-born painter Manuele Cerutti, who presents a new group of paintings and works on paper developed specifically in an original project dimension.
Drawing inspiration from simple, yet intense personal experiences - fatherhood, and the first few years of his son’s life - Cerutti depicts the generation of an entity that unexpectedly takes on childlike attributes: an unconscious, almost involuntary, creation that draws from the vegetative experience of plants and (in the tradition of alchemy) minerals.
