Enchantments – Journey between imagination and reality

At the Tuscolano Museum – Scuderie Aldobrandini in the Municipality of Frascati, the personal exhibition of the artist Verena D’Alessandro “Incanti – Journey between imagination and reality” will be hosted from 13 to 26 April. The exhibition will have the patronage of the Lazio Region and the support of the Franz Ludwig Catel Foundation.

About forty large and small format oil paintings are on display in the exhibition, some of which have never been published before. All works that ‘play’ on the intriguing relationship between reality and imagination, often permeated by references to cinematographic and literary fiction as if they were frames of a story, veiled in the arcane, where everyday life, fantasy and dreams harmoniously mix: American-style streets immersed in a surreal scenario that advance towards an endless horizon, boreal skies that arouse amazement in their silent immensity, a pick-up parked under street lamps that illuminate limited areas of a park immersed in darkness, villas surrounded by verdant gardens with windows illuminated through where you can glimpse enigmatic silhouettes of people while outside at dusk the first fireflies appear. And, again, a silent hang glider that appears behind slopes circling over snow-capped valleys, clear night skies where twinkling stars can imaginatively transform into snowflakes…
