International encounters 16 / 16
Italian photography, beyond borders.
A landscape can be recognised before its name is known; a gesture can speak before words. This introduction is for those encountering Claudio Viarengo’s photography from another country.
One artist, several distancesOne artist, several distances
Born in Canelli and based in the Monferrato area near Asti, Viarengo works across landscape, the human figure and abstraction. These paths are available in eight languages; series retain their portfolio titles. Exhibitions and biography add context to the first impression made by an image.
Looking from another country brings different points of reference. A figure, building or landscape may call up memories unlike those of the person who photographed it. A photograph continues to live in that distance, remaining connected to its maker while welcoming readings the artist cannot anticipate.
The collections introduce the work, exhibitions develop some of its relationships, and the biography adds places and moments in its history. For an international collection or exhibition, a small group of photographs and the reasons for choosing them can begin a useful discussion. Practical questions can then be addressed in relation to the particular works being considered.
For an overseas purchase or exhibition proposal, ask about the particular work, terms, availability and whether shipping can be arranged.
