To inaugurate its eighth exhibition, the MLB Home Gallery invited the Californian artist Timothy Tompkins, who measured himself with the Morandi’s latest still life, of which an almost abstract drawing is exhibited. The artist assembled featureless objects selected between the American hypermarkets unsold stock, took pictures and then depicted them in compositions that recall still life tradition. The results are colourful and contemporary still life, really up-to-date in their anti-consumerist criticism.
The exhibition has been realised in collaboration with Studio la Città di Verona and is in conjunction with the exposition “Morandi e l’incisione” at Ferrara’s Palazzo dei Diamanti.
