Thomas Berra – Casabarata

"Casabarata" is the staff of Thomas Berra, host of non-profit project by the Art Bank System 16 April of 16 July 2014.

The staff "Casabarata" represents the outcome of a process that began in December 2013 and Tangeri, in Marocco, where Thomas Berra has completed an artist residency program. Exchange, research and interaction are the underlying themes of this work that, united enthusiasm and energy that Morocco has returned to the artist, are brought to Milan within the space of Bank System.
The exhibition includes 28 framed drawings on paper, by the themes and colors with strong Moroccan influences, 32 free designs in shades of blue and a triptych by the size Baconian whose protagonists are a tree and "liars", Timbro in Thomas Berra dal 2012.
Complete exposure of the symbol shows, the totemic work that represents the summary of all this work: “Casabarata”, a real home to over two meters in height, made of wood and recycled materials. A symbol taken from their home in Milan Barata, the popular market of Tangiers.

“[…] A Tangeri, the lines of Thomas does not have mapped boundaries, nor marked paths required. As wisps illuminated sudden appearances and impressed on paper dreams become signs. A Tangeri, Thomas has built a secret labyrinth in which he walked light and safe. It, regardless of exit, we are pleased to get lost in it.” _Michele Bonuomo
