The purpose of this exhibition is to provide some food for thought about a prolifically creative artist, presenting a substantial selection of mostly unseen works realised between 1969 and 2006.
Seventy-four works - comprising sculptures, surfaces covered with the most disparate substances, cardboards and sketches - display the endless variations intrinsic to Ceroli's language: from the most typical of his production to others, which are less known, if at all.
The large Lavagne, for example, have never been exhibited before. They translate a long stay in the Middle East into a sophisticated play of variations on the shades of black.
The Casette and the Innesti are an excellent small-scale compendium of the artist's most famous works.
The motif of the silhouette, an inexhaustible source in Ceroli's sculpture, resurfaces in Assemblea di Streghe, a large-size work made of wooden overlapping silhouettes/outlines, which can be shifted by means of special hinges.
The exhibition is completed by Noi Europa figlia del libro: a massive, almost 3-metre high sculpture of wood and lead, realised in 2006.
