GIORGIO SOREL

"The exhibition of Giorgio Sorel entitled "The circle and the Shoah" is an exhibition that enters fully in the celebrations of 27th January, the day of Remembrance, a national event.

It's a day dedicated to the tragedy of the Shoah, the tragedy of a massacre, a slaughter that gets more dramatic in time.

It's a sense, a kind of understanding that we are taking each year and that makes us more and more participants.

A fact that as it leaves it approaches and it is internalized.

The exhibition of Sorel is this: internalizing the theme of the Shoah.

An exhibition so intense that was sponsored by the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, which recognized that Sorel although is not a jew and has not been personally involved in the drama of the Shoah, is a main character, a witness like many others, and he testifies with painting.

the painting of an artist who has all the means of expression of contemporary art

It is an artist extremely free that uses different materials and different languages; with many aspects from figurative to abstract, from the material to drawing, etc.

It is an exhibition that gives the sense of a drama that a drama that turns out with certain solutions, as the cross-linked that forms a dead plant in a pot ("Homo ludens"), so this is the plight .

The circle and the Shoah is the set of faces, shadows, all these ectoplasm and these figures are the ghosts of our bad conscience first of all; but the circle is the circle of time that returns, that recurs; time that somehow does not make us forget, brings us back to where the drama was more intense."
