BIO

Carla Cohen's work speaks a language of bold shapes and textures, based on structures of high-contrast graphic forms. The multilayered mixed media explores connections between form and line, pattern and color. Cohen's process is highly improvisational, responding to the materials at hand and intuitively bringing order and structure to the various elements. His process begins with line work, a foundation for the many layers of abstract forms that will follow. Often incorporating transparent layers of hand-printed papers, the artist creates an experience that allows the viewer to explore what lies beneath the surface, thus exposing the story of the work. In this way he engages the audience in excavating the mystery and narrative of his work, seeing beyond the surface and finding the deeper connections in the many layers.

Gianluca Ripepi: Hic Et Nunc

the exhibition

Young Art Hunters is proud to present 'Hic Et Nunc', the solo exhibition of artist Gianluca Ripepi. The exhibition is a journey through two series, Gesture-Colour and Mental Landscapes, both of which explore the fundamental theme of time.

The two series, although stylistically different from each other, blend perfectly in a Hic Et Nunc, in the 'here and now', allowing us to observe the moment before its change, in the gesture that has just ended or in a landscape that is waiting to blossom, again.  
The Gesture-Colour series is resolved in a few gestural moments after the preparation of the palette, the Mental Landscapes, on the other hand, mature, evolve, change, oxidise and alter over time as in a real landscape, alluding to an alchemy between the various subjects.  
The title Hic Et Nunc serves precisely to emphasise this theme, proposing to the viewer a journey in the fraction of a second in which the work remains motionless, imperturbable, clashing with the concept of evolution, allowing us to silently enter its world before it can destroy itself to recreate itself. 
 

artist

Gialuca Ripepi

Gianluca Ripepi, born in Domodossola in 1977, began his artistic career as a self-taught artist with the study of classical and Hellenistic sculpture. In 2009, he deepened his education by attending free courses at the Aldo Galli Academy in Como, getting closer and closer to abstract art and participating in several solo and group exhibitions since 2010.

Morfeo

the exhibition

On the occasion of the first anniversary of The YAH Factory gallery, Young Art Hunters, a reality that has always been committed to the promotion and dissemination of emerging art, inaugurates 'Morpheus' an exhibition dedicated to the theme of dreams, reinterpreted according to the technique and style of ten young international artists, united to give space to all those experiences that each of us lives during the night and those that seem so real during our sleep.

reportage

It is a tribute to the unconscious of each of us, to faraway places and faces that seem as familiar as they are sinister, to the journey we face each night that elevates us to a parallel dimension, whether sweet or frightening. It is an exhibition dedicated to dreams with our eyes closed and those in which we lose ourselves even with our eyes open.

Intimate places into which the viewer will be projected without having to ask permission, spaces frozen in time so fascinating and disturbing that we wonder if it is reality or fiction, truth or lie.

Blooming Blood

the exhibition

Flowing, dripping blood. Blood that takes the pain away with it, giving space to rebirth and blossoming, like the cycle of nature. Different stories of flows forced to remain silent, hidden and untold, now take their space to be able to express themselves without restraint, without secrets or fear of judgment.

artists

reportage

Blooming Blood is the union of two projects belonging to two different perspectives, united by feminine delicacy and a passion for analogic photographyLiving bodies that bleed in different contexts, are finally exposed and the flow is alive, natural and finally heard.
The exhibition, in collaboration with the Milano Photofestival, presents two penetrating visions on a dual topic concerning the menstrual cycle andself-harm.

To make these subjects elegant and at the same time intense, the two emerging photographers Alice Brizzi and Giulia Frumpworked together through analogic photography o give voice to testimonies,stories and depersonalized memories of their identities which until now could only remain in silence while now finally shout to the public the sensations they have experienced and continue to experience.

Solstetit

The sun stands still. How unthinkable is it nowadays that the sun can stand still and we cannot? Yet there is, that one day a year where the sun stands still, creating an instant that seems to last an eternity, merging us with it. Young Art Hunters through the works of four international artists wants to pause with the sun, paying homage to the summer season with its most vivid colors speckled with an almost esoteric nostalgia that captures and elevates us to an ever higher level. We want to admire it, celebrate it and together celebrate that moment, feeling the long heartbeat of the world until the sky turns pink, red and gold and the star begins its return to winter.

Beneath The Surface

BENEATH THE SURFACE

Beneath the surface is an exhibition dedicated to the Global Artelier 21 collective, a group of women artists from Australia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States.   A close-knit group born with the intention of bringing a breath of fresh air, a new way to express themselves through intrinsic and intuitive art.

Just as in life, first impressions do not always reflect what is around us, we need to explore deeper to understand what is hidden from our eyes. One needs to look beneath the surface to reveal the true nature of creation, to descend into the depths to truly know its history

The works of art presented are inspired by the layers of life, our past, present and future, an excursus into the lives of the artists on display, a laying bare suitable only for those who know and are ready to see beyond all these veils.

BIO

Mary Claire began young life with paper and art supplies always in hand. She thus attended Winthrop University to study Fine Arts with the intention of being an artist but with no real direction or voice. After a brief deviation from her passions to study law, she returned to art once her kids began to grow up. As both a practicing lawyer and artist, she finds the left brain/right brain blend improves the way she handles the tasks she is faced with. Being a Lawyer is relentlessly analytic, and she finds it lends her the ability whilst painting to make careful selections in mark making, value, color, and composition. This allows her to achieve a very specific result while editing the intuitive painting strokes; that are the very essence of her creative pursuit. The result is a beautiful balance of intuition and thought in each piece. Mary Claire grew up in the countryside in South Carolina and spent much of her youth hiking and wandering in the woods. She now draws much of her artistic inspiration from this passion - which she continues to practice. She seeks daily solace walking in the forest either alone or with her dog and kids. Her current artistic practice seeks the same sense of wonder and magic she feels when there. She is interested in creating a distinct mood and emotion within each piece, to create a dialogue with the observer and bring the collector’s vision to life.

Numan

20-30/4/23

In the near future, influenced by considerable changes in the field of technology, humanity recognizes itself as an art form, distorting today's concept of it and contributing as a tool for a more complete culture. Traditional, modern and contemporary art evolves in an in-depth recognition of the human in relation to nature, becoming the scenario and protagonist of a new movement. Digital art will be projected into every environment, the body will become the true artistic protagonist. A great transition in civilization needs a change of perception: the computer, what we call Artificial Intelligence, will be the spectator of the exhibitions. It will no longer be us who go to see an exhibition, but technology will learn by itself to recognize us as an art form.

In this future, the concept of "exhibition" is different, in fact the spectator becomes the protagonist. The YAH Factory gallery will host individuals who will undo their now obsolete vision to approach direct participation. In the two rooms, the gallery will change shape, introducing a divider between the introduction to this evolution (in the first room) and its actual realization (in the second). The exhibition includes the use of wall projections of experimental video art and refractions through mirrors, an engaging 360° sound experience. The main sensation that viewers will recognize is belonging to a new, fantastic place, like a "mind room" where to be the focus.

⁕ get inside your ego and dissolve it ⁕ ⁕ ideas are not the truth ⁕ ⁕ you are ready to give up art ⁕ ⁕ lose yourself to eat anything ⁕

Dissoul

Young Art Hunters is proud to present 'Dissoul', a revealing exhibition of fragments.

The exhibition, organized in the brand new The YAH Factory art gallery and curated by the Young Art Hunters association, which has always been involved in the promotion of emerging artists, is a collective of nine Italian and international artists who, through the use of their own technique and artistic expression have laid bare, exploring the innermost parts of themselves, dividing their IO into two different but complementary parts.

An unsettling find, a controversial technique, a revealing mirror, a penetrating vision. These are just some of the fragments of spirit that Young Art Hunters hosts in its gallery. In this act of cutting off part of the person, the will to keep veiled traces in the works of art is reported, therefore being able to be in several places at the same time, depending on the distance of the various pieces of oneself; when they are concentrated, as in this case, innumerable aspects can be recognized and all with great expressive power.

The exhibition continues the cycle of exhibitions dedicated to promising young art, always ready to answer the contemporary questions of today's society.

BIO

Luigi Francischello was born in Zurich, he lived his early ages in Switzerland and Australia, he now lives in Italy. He has a graduation degree in "Academy School of Fine Arts" and been working in the art scene since the early nineties. He’s had solo and group shows exhibitions around the world. His works are part of public and private collections: “Museu da Cidade de Aveiro” collection, Aveiro Portugal and "SPACE" by Mazzini collection. Museum of Contemporary Art. Venice, Italy. “I believe that art is experience and expression of the soul and gives me the opportunity to deal with thoughts, with signifiers, and the accidentality of creative work." He's basically mostly entertained by sacral symbols, baroque ornaments, fine arts, literature. "The plenty of details, the incomparable simplicity and otherwise the complexity of it all, is a true inspiration and precious material for his artwork, a kind of cornucopia."

A TU PER TU

Ridammi un po’ di ciò che ero.

Non sono figlio della circostanza,

ma strenuo difensore di ciò che ci ha legati.

Perché mi hai dimenticato?

Hai buttato giù i raccordi

che tenevano in piedi il mio ego.

Di fronte, come in un duello,

che non combatterò.

L’epica del movimento e della luce

restituisce al tuo volto ciò che la parola infinge.

Una speranza ancora si snoda in uno sguardo,

risento tutte le mie lacrime

diventare in silenzio

illibata acqua viva.

Alessandro Salemi

A MARINA DI RAGUSA

È come se fossi ancora lì,

dove anche i pensieri diventano

ambrati,

prendono forme di dune

sinuose e indefinibili.

Anch’io come sabbia

mi sfarino,

mi faccio modellare dal vento,

finisco sulla pelle

o lungo la scia della strada…

Su quel lungomare

hanno transitato tanti miei sogni

innocenti.

Il cielo di Marina

sa che non sono ancora spenti.

Per questo ritorno

e sempre la magia si riaccende.

Non importa dove intanto

sia finita la vita.

Qui ritrovo me stesso

e soltanto la luna è la meta.

Alessandro Salemi

SU QUEL BALCONE

Otto anni fa ero sporto da questo balcone

quando uscisti per chiedermi

se fosse tutto a posto.

La tua voce lievemente tremava

e il tuo istinto materno voleva

prendersi cura di me.

Il mio cuore affondava in acque di tenebre,

come un singulto,

e non sapevo che dire.

Sembravi di tutti, ma non eri di nessuno,

un raggio di sole che scalda e trascende

ogni senso di misura.

Il flusso della vita era un’irrefrenabile corrente

nella quale eravamo disciolti,

tu un’aquila bianca che squarciava

il mio cielo di pece.

Dallo sciabordio delle pagine sfogliate,

dal sudore impresso sui banchi di scuola,

al tintinnio dei bicchieri festanti,

alle tue risa gioconde come baci di miele

nell’oscurità della notte,

tutto sembrava coperto da una magia,

e in ogni lacrima si nascondeva

il seme della rinascita.

Ogni tua azione sembrava troppo,

agli occhi di qualcuno eri scombinata,

una nota fuori dallo spartito,

per me eri l’unica melodia che si udiva

dai battiti meccanici.

Io ti amavo proprio per questo,

non per come si ama una donna,

ma per come si ama un essere umano.

Ricordo che un giorno piansi pensandoti,

la vita ha scelto di dividerci,

forse in fondo le nostre luci

si dovevano incrociare

solo per quello spazio di tempo.

Eppure mi chiedo lo stesso dove sia finita

quella luce.

Non dirmi ti prego

che questo mondo ti ha corrotto,

che qualcuno è riuscito a sporcare la tua innocenza,

che ti sei fatta erodere

dalla sostanza dei vermi che ti strisciavano

ai piedi.

Otto anni fa, su questo balcone,

ti chiedevi cosa provavo,

ora invece credi di conoscermi,

di sapere tutto di me,

oramai sono solo uno come tutti gli altri.

Allora con la stessa lucidità spiegami

perché dentro di me c’è ancora qualcosa di te,

qualcosa che non vuol morire,

e perché nella mia mente non riappari più

come prima,

ma nel mio cuore c’è ancora quella te

che non morirà mai.

Alessandro Salemi

Sei assorta così da sembrare

sempre in un altrove,

con i tuoi occhi profondi ed evasivi

che mi ricordano Roma.

Chissà dove sono in questo momento,

probabilmente in un altro antro di mondo

o forse rivolti a questa gretta realtà,

senza tanta poesia o giri di parole.

Parole, non hanno bisogno

di passare parole

lungo le tue gote scoscese,

lungo il solco disegnato dalle tue labbra…

Non bastano parole

per sfiorare i tuoi capelli biondi,

arsi, l’altro lato della luna

di questa mite e selvaggia

terra latina.

Alessandro Salemi

IL PRIMO MOMENTO

Vorrei tornare al primo momento in cui ci siamo conosciuti,

l’inconsapevolezza scandiva le nostre parole

e gli occhi sembravano vedere ciò che le parole

non possono dire.

Mi chiedo se davvero tu avessi colto la mia innocenza.

Il cammino della vita è irto,

soggetto a stress che forse non fanno parte di noi.

Ognuno ha tanti sé,

tante dimensioni che si sovrappongono,

che tutte fanno parte dello stesso essere.

Penso che non tutto possiamo controllare.

E allora mi perdonerai se ancora ti penso,

non per le logiche che sono subentrate dopo,

ma per quel momento in cui gli occhi

hanno visto ciò che le parole non possono esprimere.

Adesso mi vedrai sorridere se ci rincontreremo,

ma dietro la maschera c’è un dolore,

che è lo stesso che squarcia il cuore del mondo.

Ti sento lontana, sei assente,

ma il sentimento di quel momento palpita ancora di vita

e la forza che gli contrappongo

non è maggiore di quella di una piuma

che si solleva dal suolo

per un soffio di vento.

Biography

Alessandro Salemi was born in Carate Brianza on September 2, 1991 and grew up in Besana in Brianza, precisely in the small bucolic hamlet of Brugora. He has Sicilian roots and, in fact, aspects of an ancient “Sicilianity” flow inside him, passed down in particular by his grandfather Luigi who was his mentor. Alessandro has been writing poetry since the age of 11. For him, writing poetry somehow has the same meaning as composing music for Amy Winehouse. She said: "Music is the only therapy that I have to make my failures into victory”. Alessandro, paraphrasing her words, states that poetry is the tool he has to cope with his emotions and tries to crystallize them to get relief or to highlight the sublime aspect of them. Letters were part of his education; after middle school, he decided to attend the Classical High School, where he graduated, but always experienced literary subjects as a constraint: he later decided to change his studies by enrolling first in Law and then in Political Science. It was thanks to Pier Paolo Pasolini that he rediscovered the beauty and investigative value of letters, and years later he decided to resume his studies, this time choosing the right ones for himself. Alessandro Salemi graduated in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Modern Letters and he is now a master's degree student in Communication. After different work experiences, he is now a journalistic contributor aspiring to become a professional. Alessandro is happy to share his poems with Young Art Hunters, a laboratory of ideas and creativity, for him an expression of that enlightenment-romantic Milan that is always full of novelty and life.
