Mario Arlati: LORO all'Alpemare, Forte dei Marmi

The Contini Art Gallery, in partnership with the Celebrity Adventures Foundation, is pleased to announce Mario Arlati’s solo exhibition at the historic Alpemare beach club in Forte dei Marmi, owned by the Bocelli family. The exhibition, created under the direction of Alberto Bartalini, will be open from June to September 2024. At the enchanting Alpemare beach club, surrounded by the natural frame of the Apuan Alps, you can admire eight vibrant fibreglass sculptures representing giraffes, each personalised by the artist through the application of particular films. The works exhibited here refer to some of the artist’s most representative works. Three sculptures are inspired by the “Incomplete Flags” series. In particular, the sculptures feature two works with the flag of the United States of America, and a third with the flag of the European Union. Two other sculptures have a film covering taken from the iconic “Rags” series; finally, the “Walls” series consists of the last two giraffes that reproduce, respectively, a painting in white and gold tones and a painting in which blue dominates. To confirm Mario Arlati’s social commitment, the works will be auctioned off at a charity auction organised by the Celebrity Adventures Foundation, which will be held on September 6th at Villa Alpebella. The Celebrity Adventures Foundation thanks the Contini Art Gallery and Mario Arlati for their precious contribution and support in the realisation of this charity project, also extending thanks to Qeeboo and Marcantonio for their contribution.
