Marzia Roversi captivates Salò with an art exhibition

Last weekend, Salò hosted an art exhibition bringing together works by Alessandra Garzetti and Marzia Roversi, offering visitors two distinct expressive paths united by close attention to the figure and the imagination. The works attracted interest for their visual construction and for the personal language of the two artists, who are already known in exhibition settings across the area.

In Alessandra Garzetti’s work, artistic solutions similar to those previously seen in Moniga del Garda were presented again. Here too, the figure emerges only partly, almost filtered through a delicate texture that lets its outlines be perceived without revealing it completely.

This compositional choice keeps the relationship between presence and concealment at the centre, with images that seem held behind a light veil and invite viewers to linger over the softer details.

Marzia Roversi’s works, by contrast, stand out for the lightness and delicacy that recall the fairy tales inspiring her. Her pieces begin as large collages on wooden boards, later worked over with graphite to create a three-dimensional effect; some compositions also incorporate acrylic and gold leaf in the background.

It is a complex technique through which very young female figures and the animals that often accompany them take shape. Together, they create suspended atmospheres, with presences that appear like sudden visions outside time.

In Marzia Roversi’s images, the girls have intense, wide-open gazes or appear withdrawn, almost meditative: their eyes may be half-closed or closed, while finches or domesticated felines appear beside them in a relationship of complete harmony.

The overall effect is a delicate yet evocative narrative universe, built from symbolic elements that engage with one another in balance.

Those who could not see the exhibition in Salò can find further works by Marzia Roversi in her gallery, Emporio Amolà, in Mirandola, at 20 Via Curtatone. The venue also contains a collection of art books featuring her illustrations, other objects decorated by the artist and several artworks.

In addition, throughout September she is presenting a solo exhibition at the bishop’s palace in Quingentole-MN on the upcoming weekends.
