Versilia, Elisabetta Rogai’s art in Forte dei Marmi

FORTE DEI MARMI, ITALY – Elisabetta Rogai strikes back  in Versilia researching intimate emotions and feelings: the florentine painter will exhibit her works at Forte dei Marmi for the exhibition “Archives of States”. It is a title that plays on semantics: if the archives are generally understood as physical places to keep books and records, in fact, in the case of Rogai’s paintings instead they become places of memory, tools to bring back memories, convergences and spiritual closeness. The exhibition will continue until the end of August, but the appointment with the vernissage is on Saturday, August 9th at the art gallery “Il Forte Antichità e arte conemporanea” by Patrizia Grigolini: starting at 19 will be inaugurated the exhibition, which happens to coincide with that of the Czech sculptor Ivan Theimer, in front of about 150 guests of excellence, plus a foreign component invoked by the hotels in the area. In the occasion guests will drink a toast with wine “I Balzini Pink Label” by Antonella D’Isanto and pecorino cheese “Forme d’Arte” by Paolo Piacenti (whose labels are taken right from Rogai’s paintings) will be tasted, as well as “focaccine” by the atelier bar Versilia “Viennalvce” part of the “Name” group by Giacomo Menici. For the florentine artist – famous worldwide thanks to EnoArt, the intuition of paint using red wine instead of colors – it is a return in Versilia, where in recent years has already exhibited in the most prestigious location, from the Sant’Agostino cloister in Pietrasanta until Versiliana shows. After the summer event, Elisabetta Rogai will start a period of important exhibitions, including one at the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence (December 2014) and the Cloister of Bramante in Rome (spring 2015).
