Brief quote of the curator Carolina about Danilo Giannoni’s solo exhibition:
“It’s much more than Ebru. In Danilo Giannoni’s work, I can see the union of the places where he lived: Hong Kong, Istanbul, New York and, of course, Italy. It has so many origins that is as if he had none. There is circularity and a fluidity that recalls the continuous unfolding of the world, the movement of the earth. His works are solid and liquid at the same time. They are works of art, and this means that have something immortal, can stop sensations in the time making them precious and crystallizing them forever; so they are solid, very solid, so much that I like to compare his round pieces to gems out coming from the walls. But they are also liquid, because born from the water and water themselves. Looking at his works, you can mentally trace the liquid movement the color has made, understanding how much is important the collaboration between the artist’s will and the will of the water. This assertion may seem excessive, but that’s exactly what I think of Danilo’s art: that he has so much respect for the matter to let the water and the color fully express their nature, collaborating with him, not only obeying. He guides, directs, supervises a meeting that, at the end, is always spontaneous, unique, unrepeatable. Nor Danilo Giannoni could copy Danilo Giannoni, because he works with life, matter, along with the world. If you look closely in his art, without moving your gaze for a few minutes, you will enter in its world, experiencing that each of his pieces seem to still move and breathe, palpitate. All of them have something organic and mystical at the same time. They are windows into which overlook to have a pure, profound and unique vision of the existence.”
