Andrea Bianconi: Breakthrough

7 September - 6 October 2018
Overview
“The exhibition Breakthrough is my inspiration, and what is behind it, is my constant desire for discovery. Breakthrough is outside of us and within us. The exhibition includes drawings, paintings, sculpture, installation and performance.
 
There is always an idea of travel in my work. Everything has a direction, when we talk, we listen, we eat, we think and when we breathe. The arrow is universal. Even the sunrise, a wondering leaf that falls and a growing flower all have a direction. The arrow is universal; it is everywhere.”

-Andrea Bianconi

Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce Breakthrough, a solo exhibition opening Friday, September the 7th, with an artist reception from 6:00 – 8:30pm and a performance by the artist at 7:30pm. This exhibition is on view through October 6, 2018.
