To inaugurate its sixth exhibition, the MLB Home Gallery pays tribute to William Turner, protagonist of the exhibition that takes place at Palazzo dei Diamanti, just next to the gallery.
An important Japanese conceptual artist, Hiroyuki Masuyama, retraced Turner’s journey from London to Italy, by taking hundreds of pictures and then recomposing them in a complex montage work (like Turner who made with his watercolour notes that were preliminary to his oil paintings).
Masuyama’s light boxes aren’t only simple photographic reproductions of Turner’s paintings, but are evocative works about the flowing of time. From the comparison between the works exhibited in Palazzo dei Diamanti and the ones recreated through digital perfection, what comes out are subtle landscape alterations created by time.
The exhibition has been realised in collaboration with Studio la Città di Verona.
