Hal Bromm Gallery is proud to present Cornucopia, The Bielefeld Watercolors, an exhibition celebrating the storied career of Lucio Pozzi, opening Friday, March 28. This show revisits a dynamic series of watercolors that debuted in Pozzi’s 1982 retrospective at Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany. Coinciding with Magazzino Italian Art’s exhibition LUCIO POZZI: qui dentro/in here in Cold Spring, NY and Dialogues between Italy and America: Jannis Kounellis, Maria Lai and Lucio Pozzi at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, NY, Cornucopia, The Bielefeld Watercolors honors the artist’s 90th birthday and his unique approach to art and the act of creation.
David Ebony, critic and curator of qui dentro/in here, described Pozzi’s oeuvre as daringly unclassifiable, leading the viewer to “severe abstract pictorial experiments…an unexpected territory of dramatic tension.” Cornucopia, The Bielefeld Watercolors highlights this liminal tension, showcasing Pozzi’s practice of “art-as-a-game” where the elements of a painting, such as repetition, thickness, color, and opacity, interact like puzzle pieces to be rearranged and recombined.
