Until 6th April Antonia Jannone Gallery will celebrate the career of Mario Trimarchi, Compasso d’Oro award-winning designer, architect and Domus Academy Alumnus, with a solo show ‘Barricades’.
The exhibition explores the theme of barricades, small architectures that delve into the concept of unstable balances. The show includes unique objects made of stones, fragments marbles, millennial woods, silhouettes of leaves and birds, semi-transparent crystals and brass scaffolding.

The sculptures share Trimarchi’s poetics, where lightness and the delicate juxtaposition of raw materials with small allegorical figures refer to a whole that is impossible to be found again.
In addition, the exhibition includes original ink drawings on paper, conduit for “understanding things better” Trimarchi says, that plays with sculptures on display to speak about how the accumulation of materials and experiences can generate poetic structures, amulets against the fatality of life.
Mario Trimarchi graduated in 1984 from Domus Academy, starting his successful career and a long-lasting collaboration with the school.
