TRASFORMATIO<\/p>\n
Michele Iodice for Esprit Nouveau gallery<\/p>\n
“Trasformatio” is a design line, introduced in the occasion of Edit Napoli 2021.
\nIt was born by thecollaboration of the artist Michele Iodice (1956, Napoli) with Esprit Nouveau Gallery
\nfrom Naples (Via Calabritto, 20 -Palazzo Calabritto Napoli 80121), founded in 2007.
\nAlberta Saladino, founder and soul of Esprit Nouveau Gallery, has been proactively involved in ‘900 antique
\npieces research during the last twenty years and invited Michele Iodice to think of a way to reinterpret some
\nArt Deco complementary design and furnishing pieces, from her private collection.
\nTrasformatio project has a pioneer and artistic soul able to set the connection lines between past, present and
\nfuture.
\nThe whole idea was born with the aim to explore interactions between art and design.
\nTrasformatio traces an historical path in human minds, that starts with the birth of design and reaches our
\nliving present, embracing artistic novelties with wisdom.
\nThe common thread of the exhibition is dynamism.
\n“Most of the people think a furnishing piece can only be a set of elements that move in the emptiness of
\nspace. Nevertheless, for others it can be poetry”.
\nAlexander Calder (1898 – 1976), described his most successful pieces of work with the above words.
\nMichele Iodice, fully interprets his thought through Trasformatio. His art works are fluctuating in a dynamic
\nequilibrium where they are able to break the physical limits of traditional static furniture, attributing them
\nmovement and lightness.
\nTrasformatio artistic methods can be applied to every kind of support.
\nIt does not reproduce, but it tears the item out of its traditional context to revive it, instead, in a completely
\ndifferent and new environment.
\nThe setup personally curated by the Neapolitan artist, combines a collection of pieces that express the close
\nrelationship between design and contemporary art, as well as the strong connection between cultural
\nstratification and innovation.
\nEvery object signed by Michele Iodice is rigorously realized by local artisans and tells about the attention to
\ndetail behind it, in a process that enhances the principles and values of “artigianato coscente”, in English,
\n“conscious craftsmanship”.
\nThe materials used spans from wood, parchment, and Plexiglas, to steel, combined in a fusion that is aimed
\nto reflect the complexity of the research that Iodice has been performing since years. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
