Marco Tamburro. Gemelli

Tamburro’s works are not composed in the studio, but on the street, immersed in the metropolitan chaos that he paints. The city is the main scenario to describe the alienation of contemporary society. Text in English and Italian.

Published on the occasion of the monographic exhibition at the Corner of the MAXXI, this catalog is illustrated with the earlier paintings and never-before-seen large works created especially for the museum, a dialogue between nine sets of twins and one work in which it is possible to recognize an expressive direction filtered through the lens of abstraction. In addition to the essay by the curator, the volume includes an interview with the artist, a critical text by Aurelio Picca and a bio-bibliography. In short, the volume provides a complete portrait of Marco Tamburro: from the references to classical cinema, to the theater and to contemporary photography, to his personal history and paintings, which combine aspects of his own life with imaginary events. His main source of inspiration is the city of Rome, consumed and crisscrossed by an infinity of trajectories, overlaid by buildings and skyscrapers.
