Description
"Etere" is a work in which pictorial matter itself becomes the subject of the artwork, entering into dialogue with that which is not matter: the void. The composition develops through a search for essentiality and reduction, in which each element is brought back to its primary dimension, while the pictorial surface becomes a space for reflection.
Matter is therefore not employed simply as an expressive medium, but assumes an autonomous conceptual role: pigments, layers, and surfaces become means through which to question the very nature of form and the possibility of representing that which eludes the physical dimension.
The work has been presented in various exhibition contexts, including the solo retrospective exhibition "Exist", held at Palazzo Broletto di Pavia and curated by Claudio Strinati. It has also been documented in publications devoted to the artist's research, including the monograph "Daniele Bongiovanni. Exist", edited by Claudio Strinati (Silvana Editoriale, 2018, ISBN 9788836639793).
Presentation
Daniele Bongiovanni (Palermo, 11 April 1986) is an Italian painter who graduated and completed his postgraduate studies with honours at the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo.
His artistic practice investigates the relationship between nature and the human figure through a process of essentialisation, progressively reducing forms to their fundamental elements. His work is recognised for the recurring presence of white skies, a defining element of his painting.
Bongiovanni has presented his work in solo exhibitions at numerous museums and cultural institutions, including the Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Catania (GAM), the Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre (KCCC), Lithuania, the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma (MACRO), and Palazzo Broletto, Pavia, Italy. He has also exhibited at the Fondazione Malvina Menegaz per le Arti e le Culture, Castelbasso, Italy, MACRO Testaccio, Rome, the Museo Regionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Palermo (RISO), and Palazzo Sant'Elia, Palermo, as well as in major international contexts, including the Venice Art Biennale.
Among those who have curated his solo exhibitions or written about his work are Marietta Franke, Rūta Giniūnaitė, Cecilia Paccagnella, Francesco Poli, Marzia Ratti, Claudio Strinati, Ermanno Tedeschi, and Susanna Zatti.
Bongiovanni's works are held in several public and institutional collections, including those of the Italian Embassies in Abu Dhabi, Helsinki, and London, the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo", Italy, Casa del Mantegna, Mantua, Italy, the Fondazione Malvina Menegaz, and the Rothko Museum, Daugavpils, Latvia.
Alongside his artistic practice, Bongiovanni is a professor of fine arts and teaches at several universities, including the Pantheon Institute of Design & Technology, Rome. He also collaborates with the US-based research organisation International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA), where he served on the Board of Directors for many years.
His academic and research activities have further led him to contribute to projects and programmes promoted by leading universities, including King's College London and Queen Mary University of London. He has participated in conferences and academic initiatives hosted by institutions including San Diego State University, California, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
