The Spider's Strategy is a tale about Italian painting.

It actually penetrates into painting, through four artists who recently nurtured its destiny.

The Spiders's Strategy is meant to be the first signal of the new double nature of the Emmeotto Gallery: from now on the investigation into the Italian masters will be complemented by an interest in the new protagonists of contemporary art.

Bazan, Chiesi, Galliano and Neri represent well-established names, at the head of a coherent research process whose outcomes have international reach. Their painting is comparable to a figurative spider web, developing along concentric lines.
Painting becomes a cerebral method, showing the ambiguous and complex nature of the present. Behind this vision, there is a precise thematic nucleus, consisting in the ability to relate the inner world to the actual experience of everyday life. The four artists create an observatory made of interacting layers, a metabolising mechanism which turns reality into a “further” version of reality. Accordingly, their method does resemble a web: each element belongs both to a previous and to a subsequent state: the rigorous structure represents a synthesis of the process, while circular growth is indicative of a holistic approach. Moreover, these authors pursue the hidden complexity of painting, the conceptual maze behind the aesthetic technicism, the cerebral border beyond the emotional impact.
The exhibition pays the due attention to four authors in a city which has seen little of their work.
