[Living Shrouds] Davide Coltro, "Living Shrouds"
Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art is pleased to present “[Living Shrouds]”an exhibition of portraits in new media by Milan-based Davide Coltro, in his second solo show at the gallery. The show will feature two components: a series of electronic modules, each containing several hundred digital images of human faces displayed in succession on digital screens, together with a selection of 100 of these portraits in print form, encased in plastic. The portraits are executed in digital media, using a proprietary process of chromatic kineticism. The overall effect is to illuminate the physical, psychological and sociological forces that work simultaneously to constrain and yet ultimately give shape and meaning to each human individual. As with past shows, Coltro successfully marries the very latest advances in digital technology with classical artistic themes to produce works that exude an uncannily quiet aesthetic power. Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, April 2, from 6:00 - 8:30 pm.
