Questione di equilibrio

Text by Valerio Antonio Federico

EDDart, on the occasion of Contemporanea – Rome Gallery Weekend, is pleased to present Questione di Equilibrio, a solo exhibition by Mauro Di Silvestre. The exhibition marks his first collaboration with the gallery and his return to Rome with a solo show after several years. The project brings together a selection of works that explore the concept of balance, understood as an ongoing dialogue between opposing elements: stability and precariousness, gesture and control, memory and the present.

As Valerio Antonio Federico writes in the exhibition catalogue: “The exhibition originates from a real rupture, transforming into a constellation of symbolic elements that confront, with remarkable clarity, the fear of loss, disorientation, and the dissolution of an identity built over time—doing so through a process of questioning. It is an almost sacred emotional exodus from which questions arise that are as intimate as they are absolute.

” Mauro Di Silvestre was born in Rome in 1968, where he lives and works. He trained between Rome and Los Angeles, developing a painterly practice that has evolved over time through cross-disciplinary influences and collaborations. Over the course of his career, he has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad, receiving important awards, including second prize at the Premio Città di Lissone (2001) and the Premio Celeste (2004) in the Emerging Painters category.

He has exhibited in international institutions and contexts, including the Victoria Memorial Museum in Kolkata, and has been invited to artist residencies in China and Azerbaijan. Among his most significant exhibitions are collaborations with Galleria L’Attico in Rome, participation in the Rome Quadriennale, and several solo shows in Italian and European galleries. Alongside his exhibition activity, he has led workshops and masterclasses, collaborating with academies and working in theatre and film.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring a text by Valerio Antonio Federico.
