Dual Nature. Antonio Bardino – FRANCESCO DE MANFECT

Catalog created for the exhibition Antonio Bardino and Francesco De Molfetta. Dual Nature at the gallery AreaB from Milan (18 March – 15 May 2025).

…”Francesco is a sculptor and loves showy polycromies. Antonio is a painter and loves controlled shades. Francesco has an eccentric and unpredictable imagination, Antonio instead tends to be monothematic and serial. It is true that they are generationally close, respectively born in 1979 is in the 1973, and that I am the first of the twins and the other of the Virgin, Affine signs, however they show with opposite looks: bohémians and rotically antagonist Demo, disciplined and low profile Antonio. […]
To fill the distances a little there is a character affinity: In all two, a certain combined confidentiality is grasped with a clear determination in traveling each its own roads without lending the surrounding artistic chatter…”
