“Limitless Journey”

The Sabìr created by dap - Luigia d'Alfonso and Ada Perla back in New York.

Following the warm welcome that the "Big Apple" reserved for them in 2019, the Sabìr and Totem painted by Luigia and Ada made their return to the City in a new exhibition.

The artworks by dap with their signs and colors once again drew the viewer to "listen" and enjoy visual storytelling that starting from a theme evolves into an individual journey that has no limits of time and space.

As noted by Roberto Savi, curator, and admirer of the Sabìr: "Luigia d'Alfonso and Ada Perla invite us to "navigate", they suggest a journey through recognizable, symbolic elements, which coexist with signs and abstract forms, fluid or halted by color, in which each work, each vision, is dedicated to a theme".

The exhibition took place January 10-16, 2022 at Time Gallery, 178 Bleecker Street, New York.

‘VISIONARY BRIDGE’

A breakthrough series of unique and sophisticated artworks by Luigia D'Alfonso e Ada Perla, Sabìr.

A Sabìr is a unitary whole composed of several canvases called 'canovacci'. The name chosen by the artists to identify this new form of artwork refers to the language spoken in ancient times in harbors and docks around the Mediterranean Sea. The meticulous and delicate work of juxtaposition and binding carried out with thin gauze to integrate the space left by the ‘missing words’ weaves the fragments together and renders a complete narration.

Organic pigments made with moistures from ancient recipes are used to create imaginary abstract patterns and shapes on precious fabric that take the viewer on a visual trip and an emotional journey that catch the imagination in new surprising ways. Pictorial textures that shape thought and silence, impalpable and yet visually powerful tapestries, born from the alchemy of color and friendship that unites their artistic partnership.

Secret Essence of Italy, the innovative cultural project conceived and led by Liria Ingallina, aimed to present in the US the best selection of the most talented and promising Italian Contemporary Artists, marks its debut with a visually stunning exhibition in the core of TriBeCa, New York City.
