Galleria La Colomba

Art gallery Dove celebrates twenty years in business. The program and duration are a demonstration of how Dove is inserted in the civil and cultural context of the city and territory. Over time, the artistic period in question goes from the nineteenth to the twentieth century until the present time of our day in the new century. In space, the Dove takes into account the cultural geography of the place, offering the production of painters and sculptors of the Italian Switzerland, Switzerland, and Italy.

From the beginning the gallery has taken on an orientation rather a philosophy of pluralistic open wide-ranging, but also with a clear strong preference for the work built and defined as fully realized image, in its internal vital energy and interview skills outwards. Certainly the sectoral and analytical research on materials, or process, or conceptual investigations, or on minimal elements, and more, have meanings worthy of all respect.

But it is not this the choice of the gallery La Colomba, who prefers to deal with every time the strong image risk, compact speech, the image that is full of inner expression, and communication with the interior of the other. The gallery carries out its duties in the service of artists, collectors and the art market, but most of the population, connoisseurs and art lovers. Next staging of exhibitions oversaw the publication of three series of catalogs.

The necklace nineteenth century painting includes the following titles: Painters from the Lombard root .; Eight hundred from the Alps to the Mediterranean; That sky of Lombardy; Luigi Rossi; Eight hundred Italian and Ticino, confirmations and discoveries; Eight hundred revisited; Ottocento.Nuove proposals; Picture gallery nineteenth. For the twentieth century, after Carlo Cotti exhibitions, Guido Tallone, Informal, was followed by a series of artists (even with years of remote shooting) with the publication of catalogs in the Contemporary Art Necklace: Xanti Schawinsky, Pietro Annigoni, Ferdinand Hodier, Pietro Salati, Imre Reiner, Francis Bott, Nag Arnoldi, Piero Giunni, Gian Franco Fasce, Valentino Vago, Mario Raciti, Renzo Ferrari, Sergio Emery, Jean Corty, Constantine Guenzi, Ruggero Savinio, Gianni Realini, Selim Abdullah, Rudolph Mumprecht Agostino Ferrari, Michel Favre, Gianni Metals, exposed one or more times. For other exhibitions they were published monographs in the catalogs-Dove Silver Series 2000: Renzo Ferrari, Masataka Kubota, Samuel Gabai, Ruggero Savinio, Aldo Ferrario.

The gallery today as yesterday is aimed at all those who consider artistic production a very valuable contribution, able to nourish and enrich the quality of life in its deeper aspects.
