A selection of works by Gianfranco Pardi (Milan, 1933–2012), which marks the first-ever solo exhibition in the UK dedicated to this important Italian artist, whose works has been previously displayed in a group show in 1982 at Hayward Gallery, London (Arte italiana, 1960–1982).
The exhibition features works from Pardi’s Giardino Pensile made in 1968 to his artistic production during the 1980s and complements a previous exhibition held at Cortesi Gallery in Lugano in early 2016.
Pardi’s artistic research, from its beginning to its very end, offers a continuous survey of space and its representation. By way of rigorous planning, Pardi integrates the techniques of painting, drawing and sculpture to reveal the dynamics and relationships of form and matter. This process was fundamental to his research, to his architectural studies and to his reinterpretation of the historical avant-garde, such as Abstractionism, Suprematism, Constructivism and Dutch Neoplasticism.
