Vanni Cuoghi

Saluti da Venezia (Greetings from Venice)

Short Review

These works by Vanni Cuoghi consist of a plexiglas box that has inside three or four parallel sheets and at the same distance from each other, as you can see in the image seen from above. On these sheets Vanni Cuoghi performs figures or landscapes, urban and not, drawn in watercolor and china and cut out with the scalpel. A vintage postcard is glued to the back wall. In our case the postcard is a view of the Ca' D'Oro of Venice in the other sheets there are characters (tourists), the gondola and the tail of a whale that is a Venetian metropolitan legend. Laterally they are depicted some historic Venetian palaces.
