Andrea Bianconi: Zipping Zap

This exhibition by Andrea Bianconi explores the repetition of a mental beat, a rhythmic pulse that underpins his artistic practice and guides the viewer through a continuous state of becoming. The exhibition unfolds as an immersive meditation on intuition, movement, and direction, revealing drawing not as a static form, but as a living language.

 

Working intuitively, Bianconi allows visual elements to emerge through the act of creation itself. His practice centers on the arrow, a recurring motif that expands into an ever-evolving visual lexicon. No longer a fixed symbol, the arrow becomes a dynamic signifier of motion, transformation, and continuity-mirroring the ongoing evolution of the world and the human condition.

 At the heart of the exhibition is a new site-specific installation composed of 34 hand-drawn transparent canvases, hanging in the gallery space. Draped and floating, these works form a physical labyrinth that gently sways at the threshold of consciousness. Rather than obstructing movement, the installation invites viewers into a space of liminality, encouraging exploration, reflection, and discovery. The viewer navigates a maze not of walls, but of ideas-where drawing becomes architecture and rhythm becomes space.

 

The exhibition also introduces a new body of aluminum sculptures, in which Bianconi further investigates the arrow as a marker of direction and intention. Here, the arrow serves as a metaphor for humanity itself: always moving forward, shaped by past decisions while projecting toward an uncertain future. Bianconi's work reflects a belief in human agency-the idea that while we are rooted in our histories, we actively shape what lies ahead.

 

Ultimately, Bianconi's work offers a hopeful vision. Bianconi's work emphasizes balance, resilience, and the triumphs of humanity, proposing a future in which intuition, awareness, and choice converge. Through rhythm, repetition, and movement, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider direction-not only in space, but in life itself.
