Sante Monachesi
GAD-Gallery of Australian Design, Canberra
'Freeform Thinking- Sculptural works' features sculptural forms embody lightness, rigidity, absorption and reflection while hinting at Monachesi's non conformist attitude to making art.
The Perspex and foam works by Monachesi originally curated by Maria Vittoria Marini Clarelli and Marina Gargiulo at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome, will be shown for the first time in Australia at the Gallery of Australian Design in conjunction with the Italian Embassy, Canberra.
Monachesi worked as both painter and sculptor and was ahead of his time when it came to working with industrial materials in the 1950’s and 60’s. These extraordinary sculptural forms embody lightness, rigidity, absorption and reflection while hinting at Monachesi’s non conformist attitude to making art. A must see exhibition for 2011.
