MIART 2022		Aldo Mondino
Pav 3 / Booth A 134		Luca Resta
1 – 3 april 2022

For miart 2022 Galleria Il Ponte proposes a dialogue between a young artist, Luca Resta, and an artist from the past, Aldo Mondino.

On display by Aldo Mondino (1938-2005) are his so-called “Quadri quadrettati” from 1963/64, first displayed at Liverani’s Galleria La Salita in March 1964. These early 1960s works with their ironic and cheeky painting style, topics and plays on words in the titles earned Mondino a place in Lucy Lippard’s book Pop Art (1967).

In the same playful and ironic manner, Luca Resta (1982), who lives and works in Paris, transforms everyday objects, objets trouvés, into marble sculptures painted with painstaking attention to detail, and calls them “Monuments”. On the other hand, he covers objects with masking tape, overlapping the layers in a meticulous ritual to make them into sculptures in the same way as Morandi slowly painted layers of colour in his still lifes.
