The exhibition

The exhibition anthologically collects the sculptural production of Giancarlo Frison, active since the 1960s. His works, predominantly in terracotta or bronze, have forms and a poetics in which lightness prevails, a dreamy quality capable of liberating the observer’s imagination, in a synthesis possible only for those who approach Sculpture with technical and ethical awareness. Thus, it speaks to both the eyes of the simple and the learned. A sort of ethical dreamlike realism. The works on display are composed of different cycles: some of them clearly refer to the Sacred, others to the Phenomenological aspects of Nature or Agricultural Work in a descriptive manner, and still others to the Symbolic and Topological Geometries.

Giancarlo Frison

Giancarlo Frison (1949) attended high school with the students of the Monastery of Praglia at the Diocesan Seminary of Padua; during that period, he had the opportunity to visit exhibitions, museums, and churches in the city. He received the basics of plastic modeling from the sculptor Licia Boldrin, niece of the sculptor Paolo Boldrin. He graduated in Contemporary Art under Professor Umbro Apollonio at the University of Padua. His work has also been exhibited in other shows: Variazioni (Galleria Civica, Padua, 1993); Della notte, della luce (Padua, 2003); Sacra Ricreazione (Church of San Silvestro, Vicenza, 2011); Parva AEsthetica (Oratory of San Rocco, Padua, 2017).
