Hic Et Nunc

the exhibition

Young Art Hunters is proud to present 'Hic Et Nunc', the solo exhibition of artist Gianluca Ripepi. The exhibition is a journey through two series, Gesture-Colour and Mental Landscapes, both of which explore the fundamental theme of time.

The two series, although stylistically different from each other, blend perfectly in a Hic Et Nunc, in the 'here and now', allowing us to observe the moment before its change, in the gesture that has just ended or in a landscape that is waiting to blossom, again.  
The Gesture-Colour series is resolved in a few gestural moments after the preparation of the palette, the Mental Landscapes, on the other hand, mature, evolve, change, oxidise and alter over time as in a real landscape, alluding to an alchemy between the various subjects.  
The title Hic Et Nunc serves precisely to emphasise this theme, proposing to the viewer a journey in the fraction of a second in which the work remains motionless, imperturbable, clashing with the concept of evolution, allowing us to silently enter its world before it can destroy itself to recreate itself.
