An interesting exhibition is on in Barga Vecchia at the moment at the Museum of memory with two artists both new to the Barga art scene – Enrico Bacci from Pisa and Valentina Restivo from Livorno. Enrico is showing a series of collage and mixed media. Valentina is instead showing a series of gouache images by the looks of things taken from film. The exhibition will remain open until 5 September and is well worth a visit
Enrico Bacci has had major shows of his work in all major Italian cities, and is collected widely by European collectors.
Enrico Bacci’s Mediterranean origin has inspired his bright colorful brush strokes and choice of color. He places a major emphasis on collage and the essence and feel of urban publicity advertisements. Frequently modifying his methodology and subject, yet always displaying a mastery at the recomposition of colour with an endless series of possibilities. Currently Bacci has been exploring his artistic boundaries by experimenting more often with his passion for sculpture.

Giovane pittrice livornese Valentina Restivo, nata il 20 maggio dell’83, da anni porta avanti un interessante percorso visivo di ricerca che lega alcune sue grandi passioni, la pittura, la fotografia ed il cinema. Attraverso la tecnica del gouache o guazzo (una via di mezzo tra la tempera e l’acquarello) Valentina Restivo riproduce in maniera originale situazioni, dinamiche, ma soprattutto corpi e volti, colti nei fotogrammi dei film amati, attuando, oltre ad una notevole capacità espressiva ed estetica, un interessante riflessione sul multiprospettivismo dell’immagine filmica.
