The Exhibition
It is a monochromatic artistic proposal winding around the white color. The artists were inspired by the thought of Emily Dickinson, who felt deeply connected to the white color by an intrinsic feeling of female empathy and, as it is well known, she used to wear white clothes only. Even in her poetry, White recurs as a symbol of a void full of life.
White is not an aseptic color, but the color of infinity full of energy, while the absence of color and form, for the American poetess, is an indispensable premise for a condition of freedom of the soul and mind, a non- place of infinite possibilities, guarantee of inner independence stubbornly defended and constantly pursued, without which poetry would lose its immaculate mystery.

CLAUDIA MARINONI
Nata a Sirmione, ha vissuto a Verona, studiato a Bologna e insegnato a Verona e Ravenna, dove tutt’ora vive. Frequenta il Liceo Artistico nel corso del quale predilige soggetti figurativi e paesaggistici, (transitando dall’acquerello all’olio) ma in seguito, anche per l’influsso degli studi filosofici, si indirizza verso le forme astratte e materiche. I lavori su tela legno, a volte vetro, sono tendenzialmente monocromatici e in rilievo, ottenuti con tecniche miste. Manifestano, nell’aspetto geometrico, una costante ricerca spaziale ed evidenziano un susseguirsi ritmico continuo, di linee rette e curve, di volumi, un alternarsi di spazi pieni e vuoti che vogliono sottolineare, metaforicamente, i molteplici aspetti della nostra variegata e sempre più complessa contemporaneità.

ROBERTA BARLATI
She works between Ravenna and Dubai where she held ceramic decoration courses at the Dubai International Art Center and at the Yadawei Ceramic Studio, where she still exhibits at the Alserkal Cultural Foundation.
Ceramist, sculptor, painter, for over 30 years she has been creating her works with always different techniques and materials, from the majolica taken from Byzantine mosaics to the elaboration of a particular branch of polychrome Romagna vine, to abstract panels inspired by Nature.
She has worked for private clients, shops, institutions, and still teaches ceramic shaping and decoration
Currently, driven by the search for a symbolic and material lightness, she works with the experimental technique which she called “Lightness Technique”, by which she pours porcelain - or other liquid clays that she prepares herself - into recycled cardboard molds that she shapes and assembles to create the shapes she has created.
