Andrea Salvatori – Un-Traditional exhibition. Andrea Salvatori is an
un-traditional artist, he doesn’t question tradition but converse with it, lying bare it’s absurdities not with the intent of mockery but to laugh along
with it.

Castello di Roncade –
Andrea Salvatori – Un-Traditional exhibition. Tradition for Salvatori is an
elegant obelisk that a, flea market found porcelain cherub, tries to support,
Obbellisco 2008. The Cherub manages it because he knows that this can be a
source of inspiration and source of “detournement”.

Castello di Roncade –
Andrea Salvatori – Un-Traditional exhibition. Incubo, or nightmare, 2011,
pottery. Monsters and a frog scare a
little boy in his pajamas while he hugs a teddy. As the title suggests, the
awakening after a nightmare, in which the little boy remembers the grotesque
characters with which he lived with while he slept.
