Cinalli/The Uncanny as Metaphor
"The Metaphor of the Uncanny" consists of a selection of 52 monumental works by artist Ricardo Cinalli and is divided into seven sections, each aimed at describing the conflicts and questions of human nature in front of the great classical themes: transcendence, the dimension of time, art, creating, religion, sex and death.
Cinalli is an artist who conceives work on a monumental scale, originating from Italian Renaissance tradition. He is a versatile painter, influenced by the legacy of Italian painting and his experience as a stage designer. Edward Lucie Smith, writer, poet, art critic and curator, recognizes him as one of the most important contemporary monumental painters.
Ricardo Cinalli was born in 1948 in Argentina. He received a degree in psychology at the University of Rosario. He lives and works between Buenos Aires and London, where he settled in 1973 and studied at the Harrow School of Art and the prestigious Hornsey College of Art. Cinalli found his ideal spaces to express his monumental art in Italy – in 2008 he completed "The Resurrection" fresco for the Cathedral and a series of frescoes for the New Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria della Misericordia in Terni.
This is a monographic catalog for the exhibition that took place March 24 - April 27, 2013 at the Salone degli Incanti, Trieste, Italy. Created by the Cultural Woland, the Municipality of Trieste and Elzeviro. Text by Edward Lucie-Smith, Sanda Miller and Patricia Rizzo - Bilingual in English and Italian; 290 pages, full color, 24,5 x 28,5 cm.
