 Merciless Naturalism
Alliance Francaise of Madras presents 'Merciless Naturalism' by Cristian Boffelli. It opened on March 24 and will be on view till April 6, 2006, at the Alliance Francaise Gallery,
Chennai.
"The graphic by Cristian Boffelli draws from nature without idealising it. As nature moulds and transforms shapes, as it celebrates and destroys them, so does Cristian Boffelli: he observes and registers the whole of the peculiarities and the qualities that shape living beings. And as he has no illusions about the lasting of their lives, he does not allow himself any biases as for their purposes or their ends. The result is a comprehensive point of view of things, which always includes their limits, just like nature." - Stefano
Crippa.
Cristian Boffelli is an Italian graphic artist who lives and works in Italy. He has been exhibiting in the Netherlands, US, Korea, Brazil, the UAE, Switzerland and Italy.
The works that have been presented for the first time at AFM Gallery are prints on textile that have been created and made in India during a series of voyages by the artist.
The artist will be available during the exhibition.
