Exhibition opening hours: Monday to Sunday from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm and from 5.00 pm to 10.30 pm.
The exhibition “Grado e altri orizzonti” presents a collection of paintings and ceramics by MdP, alongside a selection of photographs by amateur photographers from Mitteldream Arte Gorizia. Also participating in the project is Examina
Aps, which will showcase its projects for the current year as well as presenting a performance of fusion early music during the opening.
MdP’s work lies at the intersection of abstraction and figuration, where the landscape dissolves only to be reconstituted as a perceptual and mental experience. The sea and the horizon line become visual devices through which to explore the relationship between memory, vision and space.
The photographs, dedicated to Grado and its lagoon, introduce a documentary counterpoint, broadening the discourse on landscape as a collective construction of the gaze.
MdP (the artist name of Manuela de Pregi) is a painter originally from Gorizia who lives and works in Milan, where she opened her own gallery in 2018; she subsequently opened an exhibition space in Grado on Viale Dante Alighieri.
Her work moves between abstract and figurative language, with a particular focus on light, colour and the emotional dimension of the landscape. Her works often stem from travel experiences, transformed into intimate and evocative pictorial visions.
