Simone Gori (Florence, 1986 – )
In 2020, artist Simone Gori installed his work on the second floor in a small, narrow room situated in the corner of the Cascina Terrarossa. The dominant feature in this confined space is a small window that can be opened onto a natural setting but the artist decided to close this view in order to create a “cell” where the visitor’s experience is concentrated. He “reopens” the room by creating a world-universe made of a painted sky with tempera colors covering the entire surface of the ceiling and walls. The artist reproduces the brilliant effect of the sky through his use of reflective tiles where, in the center, he screenprints his own image, suspended in a relaxed pose, like the Creator of the title.
