“Il Cielo in una Stanza” (The Sky in a Room) is the first posthumous exhibition on the internationally renowned artist Ettore Spalletti<\/strong><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c9ric de Chassey and Spalletti studio curated the presentation of his works from the 1980s to 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

A selection of his paintings and sculptures completely re-imagines the central hall of the national gallery in Rome, turning it into a landscape that takes us directly into the work of Ettore Spalletti<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as we cross the threshold of the great hall, it is as if Ettore takes us by the hand through his works, as if giving us permission to be able to relax and stop to breathe, leaving behind us the traffic, street, cars, and screeching trams of Rome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ettore
A setting of the exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spalletti’s colors \u2013 blue, pink, gray \u2013 bring a sense of peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In this room there is the sky of his land, the color of his sea, and the pink of his sunsets; we can’t help but perceive them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You feel a sense of gratitude standing before one of his huge monochrome canvases, which are hung in a very unique way, winding around the columns and the vases. Yes, you feel gratitude, because it’s the first time in the exhibition that you can see and feel what the artist felt every day when he came into his studio in Cappelle sul Tavo where everything was about order and harmony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He is a very unique artist, and his work is very precise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ettore

We find primary, geometric shapes, verging on severe, including ellipses, amphorae.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though he was solitary in his art career, he loved the work of Giorgio Morandi and was a good friend of Enrico Castellani. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was in the generation of Arte Povera<\/strong> artists with Giuseppe Penone, , Jannis Kounellis, Luciano Fabro, Emilio Plini, and Enzo Cucchi, who paid careful attention to re-envisioning classical art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His approach is one of synthesizing and playing with shapes. The ellipsis is at the entrance to the hall, representing the egg of his beloved Piero della Francesca. The blues are those of his angels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

The use of gold leaf edging his canvases takes us into the Renaissance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The vases are from the past but his touch brings them closer to us, purified yet full of materiality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His art is timeless as art should be.<\/span><\/p>\n
