Make it shine
2021 – 2022

This is Marinella Senatore‘s first solo exhibition with Mazzoleni in Turin, a city she considers a “laboratory” of avant-garde experimentalism and activism. Mazzoleni pays tribute to one of the most internationally renowned Italian artists, who has found the cornerstone of her artistic research in the dynamics of sharing and exchange.

The exhibition in Turin offers a selection of works, including many previously unseen pieces.
The variety of elements translates the artist’s multidisciplinary nature, and offers the viewer a plurality of linguistic solutions, which take shape in light sculptures, installations, paintings, pencil drawings, collages, and embroidered banners.

Among the never-before-seen works, there is the monumental pictorial installation Make it Shine, in which the artist uses reflective and refractive materials – such as mother of pearl, metal flakes, and 24k gold – to let the light sculpt the surface of the canvas.
