“Appearances” – Temporary exhibition of the Italian artist Giacobbe Luigi
Galleria “Novalis Art + Design” is pleased to present “appearances”, a solo exhibition by Luigi Giacobbe. Whoever keeps a painting of Luigi Giacobbe gets into an atmosphere of emotion and wants to understand and touch the artwork that emanates communicative energy.
Luigi Giacobbe: “Adding one image to the next is like choosing one story out of the vastness of possible stories. In my work the space has always haunted me. And I always wondered where reality is actually having its hiding spot. In the construction of the image or in the misisng links. When creating a serie, pictures are like all grammatical elements at once. Subject, verb, etc. There is no beginning and no end”.
Opening Reception on Dec 15 (Thu)
Time: 5pm – 10pm
Exhibition: from 15 December 2016 to 31 January 2017
Organized by: Novalis Contemporary Art + Design Gallery
Venue: Novalis Contemporary Art + Design Gallery, G/F, 5 Sau Wa Fong, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

Francesco Lietti exhibition
Lietti’s work derives from the mnemonic imagery of the artist, who lives in symbiosis with themes of travel and discovery. He paints dreamlike visions of Hong Kong, that often have a humorous quality, containing playfully distorted and colourful shapes, describing the city in an almost caricatured magnificence.

8 November
Exhibition: Pier Luigi de Lutti e Bertozzi & Casoni
Pierluigi De Lutti: “Monochromes”. An experienced painter, De Lutti applies several layers of colours, finding the most entangling transparencies. They actually enclose invisible preciousness: chords which De Lutti builds up with acuity, like the lines of a poem or the notes of a song.
“Bertozzi & Casoni are liars. They have built huge machines which are perfectly useless since they are made only of pottery, and the mechanisms are only fake replica. They are unusable. Being artworks, they should at least generate ideas, but really these two guys are not interested at all in giving us a key to reading their works.”
Opening reception on Nov 8 (Tue) / Aperitif with wine
Time: 6-9pm

Venue: Parkview Art Hong Kong, Shop n.6, Upper G/F, Sunrise House, 27 Old Bailey Street, Central, Hong Kong
18 November – 7 January 2017
Exhibition: SUPERFICI/SURFACES/雕面 by Enrico Castellani
The exhibition is composed by a range of fundamental works spanning from the early seventies to the late nighties, retracing the career of this Italian master who was associated with the Zero movement and the magazine Azimuth, created with fellow artist and friend Piero Manzoni.
The show focuses on the seminal body of work Superfici (Surfaces): shaped relief canvases that Castellani started working on as early as 1959 and is still producing. These canvases signify and mark a historical moment when there was an essential quest for the dimensional and a land marking shift in the use of the canvas: it was no longer confined to being a background tool in aide of the abstract gesture but an active, physical and expanding surface that demands to exist.
Opening Reception on Nov 18 (Fri)
Time: 6pm – 8pm
Exhibition: from 18 November 2016 to 7 January 2017
Organised by: Massimo De Carlo Gallery
Venue: Massimo De Carlo Gallery, 3 Floor, PedderBuilding, 12 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong

Temporary exhibition of the Italian artist Giacobbe Luigi
Luigi Giacobbe’ s solo exhibition at OUR GALLERY in Hong Kong is part of the Italian Artist’ s now established journey through the art world in Asia, where his works are already in a number of private collections in Tokyo, Seoul and Manila.
The pieces exhibited at OUR GALLERY are only a summary of the artist’ s latest works in his creative development between the real picture of an urban decay, visible in our everyday life, and the personal interpretation of an informal abstract that contains and transmits through the use of materials and colours that image of transformation we perceive in his work.

Time: 4pm – 6pm
Exhibition: from 2 to 31 December
Organized by: Our Gallery
Venue: Our Gallery, UG 10, C C Wu Building, 302-8 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

Exhibition: Saturno Buttò
Saturno Buttò: “Saturnicore” “I love to mix things… Sacred and profane, for example. I always went for some amusement through painting. Still I uphold my flair for portraits. For I enjoy so much creating and looking at them. Then. The figures must spring pure in the painting. As I conceived them the very first moment. Once I finished it, I may devote myself to gaze at it and think over the implications it would mean”.

Time: 6-9pm
