Endless Aquarium

On wednesday 13th february 2019, at Galleria Mario Giusti HQ-HEADQUARTER in via Cesare Correnti 14 Milano, her recent catalog “Acquario al Contrario” by Editoriale Giorgio Mondadori out in libraries in February 2019. The catalog contains all the artworks exhibited at Teatro Manzoni di Milano.

Research developed by means of the infinite reproduction of the same subject which appears in incessantly different forms and colours, brings to life series in which the artist delves into different themes. From the earliest “Oblò” (Portholes), in which she depicts glimpses of the sea from within a ship, to the black shadows swimming in the colourful geometric waters of “Oceano 4.0” (Ocean 4.0), the fish-matryoshkas of “Maternità” (Maternity), to the abstract shapes dictated by emotion in “Primordi” (Beginnings). Monica swims through her fluctuating world and creates “L’Acquario Infinito” (The Infinite Aquarium),  where it is possible to break the glass of reality and approach the joy of fantasy.

 

Monica De Mattei at Banca Generali

Monica De Mattei exhibited in Banca Generali last year: the catalog contains a  selection of the enormous production of fishes by the artist. The exhibition was unusual because of the nature of the venue: in fact we often think of financial offices as cold and impersonal spaces where people only have to work but actually lots of people (from employees to investors to general public) hangs out at Banca Generali’s headquarter. The exhibition was an opportunity to show off the greatest Monica De Mattei’s artworks and to make them available to everybody who visited the offices transformed into a colorful sea.
