Born from research on the surface of rocks, the drawings in the series Gli specchi sfuggenti (The elusive mirrors) are part of the questioning of creativity as a cause of solitude (and vice versa), a theme that runs through Matteo Gubellini's visual and editorial work.
The artist has always been torn between his desire to participate in the world - to live the thousand adventures of Walt Disney - and the temptation to hide from it. Composing his landscapes with a limited number of elements (a lake or a hole, full or empty, a few upright rocks, as if emerging, a naked man - timeless or a beast returned from the primeval times), Matteo Gubellini evokes in delicate variations waiting, doubt, desire, temptation, the emptiness of existence, the endless cycle of human questioning...
Are we in a dream? Are we on a psychoanalyst's couch? Are we at some crucial moment in a myth or a parable? What could this sophisticated work on the matter of rocks be the pretext for?
We then remember the words of Roger Caillois in the dedication of his collection Pierres:
"I speak of stones: algebra, vertigo and order; of stones, hymns and quincunxes; of stones, darts and corollas, edge of the dream, leaven and image... I speak of stones older than life and which remain after it on the cooled planets... I speak of bare stones, fascination and glory, where a mystery is hidden and at the same time revealed, slower, vaster and more serious than the destiny of a passing species."
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
