DOUBLES Arturo Vermi + NM3

Brun Fine Art Gallery, with the support of the Arturo Vermi Archive, presents “DOUBLES Arturo Vermi + NM3” at its Via Gesù 17 location. Curated by Alberto Mazzacchera and Alida Priori, in collaboration with Unløck decoding art, the exhibition explores the dialogue between the works of Arturo Vermi (Bergamo, 1928 – Paderno d’Adda, 1988) and the minimalist design of NM3.

 

"SO I RETURNED TO MILAN, WHERE THE ENERGY OF ARTISTIC RESEARCH SEEMED MORE ALIVE AND DYNAMIC."
— ARTURO VERMI

 

This exhibition clearly highlights how Vermi deeply absorbed Lucio Fontana’s spatial theories, leading him to develop an autonomous and original interpretation. With his Diari series, Vermi challenges the traditional constraints of painting, breaking free from the limits of surface and physical space.

    ARTURO VERMI

    Biography
    Arturo Vermi (Bergamo, 1928–Paderno d'Adda, 1988) began his artistic journey in 1955 with figurative painting characterized by dark tones and expressionist echoes. His first solo exhibition took place in 1956 at the Pirelli workers' club, a place oflively artistic experimentation. In 1959, he introduced the cycle of Lavagne, while a stay in Paris in 1960-61brought him closer to French Informal artists. Upon returning, he developed the Lapidi, material works with chromatic engravings. Gradually, the line became the protagonist and organized itself in an increasingly structured way, anticipating the Diari of the early '60s. In 1962, he founded theGruppo del Cenobio(Cenobio Group) with Agostino Ferrari, Ugo LaPietra, Ettore Sordini, and Angelo Verga, with the aim of investigating the sign as anessential visual language. His research evolved with the Paesaggi, Figure, and Marine, where spatiality tookon a central role.By the late '60s, influenced by Lucio Fontana, he explored the cosmic dimension: in the Approdi and Inserti series, he used gold and silver leaves to transform color into cosmic light. In the '70s, he created installations such as Piattaforme, Esodo, and Frammenti, threedimensional works that reflect light and increasingly interact with space.In 1975, he focused his research on happiness and founded the magazineAzzurro, distributed at the 1978 Venice Biennale. During the same period, he developed the Manifesto of Disengagement and proposed the Annalogio, a time-measuring device as an alternative to the clock. He passed away in 1988, leaving behind a visionary artistic legacy centered on the sign andcosmic space.
