Orosz is certainly one of the greatest contemporary Hungarian intellectuals; sophisticated engraver, famous illustrator, multifaceted artist, known in his homeland and abroad, whose career is full of prestigious awards.
During the vernissage visitors can be protagonists of an interactive experiment of creative production that will address the theme of Self Perspection. The black room, a laboratory within the gallery space, has been specifically conceived and equipped in order to manifest, by the team of Gestalt psychotherapists, Luca Petrini and Andrea Zizzari, with whom the gallery has started since a few months an innovative and multidisciplinary research. In Gestalt Psychotherapy the act of creation (as the artistic process) represents the ability that all human beings have of developing new behaviours to deal with existence, creating new and different horizons of action. The process necessarily requires to explore within the unknown zone, in order to develop something that makes a new sense of completion for us. Therefore it could be a behavior, a sentence, a gesture or a work, the creative act requires venturing into the unknown, enduring the generative tension inherent in taking the risk, in choosing. This is the synthesis that reflect a new way for the art by A100 Gallery. The overall project is conceived, organized,and coordinated by Nunzia Perrone, director of the gallery.
The exhibition will run until October 2, from 10.00 am to 01.00 pm and from 05.30 pm to
08.00 pm (in August by appointment)
