Marco Veronese
New Era
"New Era" is the name of the second exhibition of the Italian artist Marco Veronese at the Ana Serratosa Gallery. The intention of the exhibition is to capture the inexorable passage of time, reminding us that we are human, that the passage of time is inevitable. Symbolic of this temporality are two of the elements present in most of the works that make up the exhibition: the butterfly and the skull. Using butterflies, Marco Veronese refers in this exhibition to the process of transformation, like the small silkworm that turns into a beautiful butterfly. To this is added the presence of carpets, the result of his recent residence in Turkey, where the manufacture of carpets has a millenary tradition. Veronese mixes both cultures in his work and uses the carpet as a support for his creations. These are woollen rugs, like the Turkish ones, in which his characteristic skulls appear alongside geometric motifs and patterns.
