Neoneoneo-Classic | Group Show
Certosa Di San Giacomono at NOMAD Capri | July 6th - 10th 2023
Whether expressing imperial grandeur, aesthetic idealism, or artistic sensibility and restraint, Neoclassicism still has a powerful hold on Western culture. Originally inspired by classical Roman and Greek architecture and art, it has evolved into many different styles over the nearly two centuries of its history. It all began with 19th-century artists enthralled by the ruins encountered on their Grand Tours in the south of Europe. It was a fascination with all the lost beauty, the mysteriously pleasing proportions, the order, the timelessness... In a way, it was an attempt to revive what ancient artists had achieved, which was seen by many as perfection suspended between the human and the divine.
Featured designer
Roberto Sironi
Desio, Italy
Roberto Sironi (1983) is an Italian designer, who lives and works in Milan. His design practice is defined by a research-based and process-oriented approach, where thinking and making converge in the creation of artifacts, which are considered narrative tools to trigger a dialogue with the user. This approach materializes through a body of work that breaks with the primary function by blurring the boundary between functional object and sculpture; the artifacts produced are the result of a process in which the subjects addressed are investigated through an in-depth analysis from a historical, geographical and anthropological point of view.
The works are conceived as contemporary ultra-signs, where the transformation processes re-signify the matter, revealing its unseen qualities and giving it new features.The practice, founded in 2015, embraces different types of design practices, such as product and installation design, strategic research and design consultancy, through the collaboration with institutions, galleries and companies. Roberto Sironi also combines his practice with teaching and research activity in the Design Department of Politecnico di Milano, where his studies focus on new technologies for design.
