Carlo Crivelli

Viac o knihe

Ikon presents the first exhibition in the UK dedicated to the work of Renaissance artist Carlo Crivelli. The exhibition catalogue is a comprehensive survey of Crivelli's work including essays and a foreword by Ikon's Director Jonathan Watkins.00'Shadows on the Sky' highlights his experimental use of perspective, trompe l'oeil (optical illusion) and sculptural relief to create illusions of illusionism. Such cleverness was conveyed with consummate craftsmanship and foiled by an extraordinary elegance. Crivelli?s paintings both suggest and undermine his own visual trickery to explore the coexistence of material and spiritual realities.00Exhibition: Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, UK (23.02.-29.05.2022)
