Mottarone, Sicilian painters donate works to little Eitan and Stresa

“We wanted to be present at this event, donating two of our works to the Municipality of Stresa, because we were very impressed by what happened in the tragedy of the cable car and in this way we want to show our closeness to the families of the victims. We will donate one work to the municipality and the other to little Eitan, the 5-year-old child who survived the disaster ”. To say the Sicilian master painters Lorenzo Chinnici and Dimitri Salonia who together with the Salerno master Giuseppe Gorga will be on display, with their works, at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Stresa from 26 to 28 June as part of the “Stresa Art Che Bolle” initiative . The artistic and food and wine event organized by Silvio Bruni and Che Bolle brings together the excellence of Made in Italy in different sectors. “We will deliver – add the three artists – during the event to the mayor of Stresa Marcella Severino the works we have created for the event. We are still shaken by what happened during the tragedy of the Stresa-Alpino-Mottarone cable car. Art cannot erase pain, however it can represent, even in this land hit by disaster, an important signal for a cultural renaissance. Ours is a gesture of love to remember those who left us and to give hope to family members for the future ”. In the exhibition ‘The Colors of Rebirth’, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the evocative language of the raw and bright painting of the master Lorenzo Chinnici, in the evocative passions of the master Dimitri Salonia and in the intense and symbolic works of the master Giuseppe Gorga. The latter will soon make an exhibition in China, while Salonia and Chinnici will continue their national and international artistic tour, which this year will touch Alexandria, Taormina, Salerno, Rome, Rimini, Forte dei Marmi, Cannes, Shanghai, Dubai, Toronto and other important places, where they will try to transfer the colors and traditions of Sicily to visitors from all over the world, both of which have represented in more than 60 years of career. During ‘The Colors of Rebirth’ the masters Salonia and Chinnici will present two works made by four hands entitled “Natura vince” and “Aquarium”, where they analyze the period of Covid from an artistic point of view, suggesting that in the end nature prevails over everything, and restore its balance in things. Gorga will exhibit among other things, the “Toda pimenta” works that depict red chillies coupled and melted in goblets and decanters. The “chillies” of the artist from Campania already successfully exhibited at “Art Expo New York 2018”, will soon be present in China in the museum of the city of Chongqing. Stresa will be a unique event open to all lovers of art, food and good wine in an enchanting location overlooking Lake Maggiore, in which 70 wineries with 280 labels will participate in addition to internationally renowned artists.
