Galleria Doris Ghetta is pleased to present a solo exhibition in Ortisei by Alessandro Artini (Tione di Trento, 2000), whose work is rooted in the Alpine landscape and its imaginative, symbolic and perceptual dimensions.
The new series of paintings reflects the artist’s interest in snow as a surface in constant transformation, a material that preserves and erodes, stratifies and disappears, offering a vision of the mountain as a shifting and atmospheric environment rather than a fixed place. Although his imagery appears direct, the works reveal a layered relationship between perception, memory and distance. Artini does not depict specific sites; instead, he reconstructs landscapes from recollections, cultural traces and familiar Alpine motifs, which he employs consciously to investigate the role of collective imagination.
His approach avoids environmental rhetoric, focusing instead on the presence of human experience within the natural scene, in line with a reflection inspired by Andrea Zanzotto. The exhibition title, It’s cold outside, evokes both the seasonal atmosphere and the emotional distance that shapes the artist’s view of the mountains.
Graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Artini developed his practice within Atelier F under the guidance of Carlo Di Raco, author of the curatorial text accompanying the exhibition. His work balances recognisability and abstraction through a measured interplay of material density and luminous transparency.
