Collectible Tapestry "NOTHING HAPPENS IF NOTHING HAPPENS"

The continuation of the installation at the Loft in Via Pastrengo,14 is the style exercise specially created for the Isola Design Gallery by the artist Antonio Barbieri in collaboration with MaVoix Exclusive Wallpaper.

Starting from the theme of Isola Design Gallery, the contemporary artist investigates nature by creating new forms, thanks to his marked aptitude. He creates a work that looks like a tapestry printed on Mother of Pearl MaVoix wallpaper, which changes color and “vibrates” according to the variation of the incidence of light.

In this work, Antonio Barbieri focuses on the study of environmental processes that generate and modify the form.
Taking advantage of elements captured from the natural environment and thanks to the massive use of scanning and modeling technologies, the artist creates a hybrid construct that evolves in the form of a complex and structured “vegetable” and which embodies the energy, the soul and the history of all the natural forms captured.
Once this “vegetable complex” has been created, the artist is confronted with the particular conformation of the exhibition layout of the Isola Design Gallery and, through the use of artificial intelligence, creates a metaphysical/utopian environment that arises from the dialogue of his work combined with the keywords protagonists of the exhibition such as: metaphysics, theater set-up, Giorgio De Chirico.
Antonio Barbieri is one of the artists of the “Spazio Miscellanea”, a project of the MaVoix brand that aims to blur the boundaries between the different artistic disciplines, stimulating interactions, dialogue and the sharing of knowledge.

For the realization of the tapestry “Arazzo NOTHING HAPPENS IF NOTHING HAPPENS” the Mother of Pearl paper was chosen among the seven printing supports of the brand. A metallic support that gives pearly and particularly shiny reflections thanks to its composition of silk threads on silver laminations.
