Alan Bee. Pitture, ABC-ARTE, 2022

Alan Bee. Paintings June 15 – September 15 2022 Curated by Flaminio Gualdoni with critical contribution by Luca Bochicchio ABC-ARTE presents the first comprehensive solo exhibition of Alan Bee, an mysterious and inscrutable presence in the contemporary art scene, three years after the first presentation of his work in the collective exhibition “Where the unmeasurable meets the measurable”, 2019. The display discloses the strength of a prolific spirit for whom abstract art becomes a field of ​​absolute expressive freedom. Proceeding through relatively compact operative cycles, and engaging with some of the strongest stances in the contemporary debate, Bee - nom de plume that pays homage to the bees and to a form of creation made of culling and transforming, one that Michel de Montaigne finely catches in the passage: "Bees suck the flowers here and there, but then make the honey, which is all their own, and no more thyme and marjoram", and whose basic visual structure is the modular cell of the honeycomb - shows a clear reference to Abtraction lyrique, but one where nature lays the groundwork, beside the aesthetic lexicon, for a conceptual and symbolic discourse that is deeply "political". An elusive presence in the artistic milieu, Alan Bee is an outstanding figure for the absolute quality of his artistic production, which makes him a somehow crucial element in the landscape of contemporary art. ABC-ARTE's exhibition traces, through strong examples, the essential passages of his work, and is accompanied by a new bilingual monographic volume edited by Antonio Borghese with introductory texts by Flaminio Gualdoni and Luca Bochicchio, for Silvana Editoriale edizioni.
