Memorie Urbane and Street Art Place are glad to announce the opening of an exposition area in the heart of Venice, far just few steps from the Peggy Guggenheim, the second most visited museum of the city. To start the space is going to be Andrea Ravo Mattoni with a solo show titled "Echo in Venice" where, for the first time, he will expose his artistic production tied to his "from Classicism to Contemporary"'s project. A project that brought in the streets, in Italy and abroad, classical masterpieces of Caravaggio, Pulzone, Maestro Olzieri, Delacroix and Tanzio da Varallo. Big size walls realized with spray by the artist, moved by the desire to create an open sky picture gallery, that allows a better enjoyment of the artworks of the great masters kept inside the most important galleries of the world. The exhibition opens a week after Ravo's intervention in Paris, inside the museum school ART42 where he reproduced the beautiful Eugene Delacroix's "Jeune Orpheline au cimitiere", from the Louvre's collection, and just before the wall he is going to realize in Rome at Gemelli Hospital, where he is going to remake another splendid Caravaggio's "the seven Mercies", kept in Naples. The exhibition hosts artworks realized with spray on canvas, of medium and large size, that are the artist's personal reinterpretation of the masterpieces of Caravaggio, Leonardo Da Vinci, Delacroix, Carlo Dolci, Simon de Vouet, Valentine de Boulogne, Velasquez, Rubens, Vermeer, Gustave Courbet, Pietr Claesz and Francois Andrè Vincent. Moreover there are going to be exposed canvas realized in collaboration with David de la Mano (Uruguay/Spagna) and Alaniz (Argentina). In the gallery there will be available also limited editions on paper finished by hand and with golden leaf.
