Ettore Spalletti
Taka Ishii Gallery Kyoto is pleased to present a solo exhibition dedicated to the work of one of the most relevant Italian artist, Ettore Spalletti (1940 – 2019).
The project, curated by the Ettore Spalletti Foundation and Cristiano Raimondi, will be hosted in the Taka Ishii Gallery space in Kyoto, a ‘Kyo-machiya’ house dating back some 150 years ago.
Spalletti’s works inhabit the house like ancient presences. Some, overlooking the inner garden, change as the natural light changes, adding color to color; others, in the untouchable space of the tokonoma, reveal the artist’s alphabet. In the last room, an “upturned sky” on the ground brings with it the colour of sunset. The scenery that opens up to the visitor can be recounted by the expression of the MA 間 , an ideogram with the sun inside a door, almost as if to recall that poetic moment when a glimmer of light passes through a thin breach. A timeless “landscape” where space is created by the perception of the person living it at a given moment.
