Verso l’Alto, verso la Terra: Sguardo al firmamento – Ismaele Nones per Gruppo Mosaicisti Ravenna

Opening: 18 October at 3,30 p.m.
Curated by Anna Caterino. Ismaele Nones’ exhibition, set in the evocative setting of the Arian Baptistery in Ravenna, offers a profound and disorienting encounter between memory and contemporaneity. His paintings appear as humanized icons, crossed by a profane edge that does not desecrate but rather reactivates and reinterprets. The human figures, silent and motionless, inhabit a suspended space where time seems to stratify into harmonious layers: past and present coexist without conflict, in a visual balance that speaks in silence.
A central element of the exhibition project is a mosaic work based on a cartoon by the artist and realized by the Gruppo Mosaicisti Ravenna. This marks a profound turning point in his artistic path. The mosaic is not a mere technical evolution but a true passage a transition that coincides with a conceptual and spiritual transformation.
