LAB | GABRIELE DE SANTIS: OCCHI APERTI! OCCHI CHIUSI!

The workshop aims to introduce participants to the distinction between abstract and figurative language under the guidance of the artist Gabriele De Santis
The children, divided in pairs, will collaborate to build two small works of art: one figurative, consisting of a small parrot in plexiglass, and one abstract, composed of scrap materials from the first.
During the workshop, participants will take turns wearing a blindfold to emphasize their relationship with the materials and enhance cooperation within the pairs.

Gabriele De Santis (Rome,1983) offers a foray into iconography of the present, addressing his research on language, symbols, and contemporary aesthetics. His work deals with the lexicon that accompanies us through daily life, creating a laconic yet seductive portrait of the ordinary. Gabriele De Santis courageously questions the codes and raw materials that surround us daily, those which travel through our time and consciousness, upon which we base our relationships.
Gabriele De Santis lives and works in Rome. He obtained an MA in Visual Arts at University of the Arts London, UK (2010). Selected exhibitions: GABRIELE DE SANTIS,CASE CHIUSE #04, curated by Paola Clerico, Casa Vautrin/Vudafieri, Milan, IT (2019); Truth be told, Frutta, Rome, IT (2017); If you have got the feeling jump across the ceiling, Limoncello, London, UK (2015).
