Mario Eremita’s sculptures dedicated to music and dance.
Works carried out in 1990 at the Da Pino Restaurant in Piazza dei Signori in Treviso. These are stucco bas-reliefs and 18-carat gold foil coverings. The restaurant is located within the complex of the Palazzo dei Trecento, a building dating back to 1185, completed in 1268. Inside there are suggestive barrel vaults which have been covered with 18 carat gold leaf. Plastic stucco bas-reliefs with the theme of dance and music were placed on the walls.
The artistic layout is a personal expression of the artist’s imagination in concert with the technical and formal needs of the places. The quality of time spent inside the premises of the “Da Pino” restaurant is not comparable to that spent in a conventional public place; but it comes close to the experience of visiting a museum.
The artistic embellishment of the premises offers a very stimulating dialectical perspective and makes the aesthetic experience a natural part of everyday life, allowing the enrichment of our mind; allowing reflection and contemplation, experiences with high added value.
In the past, these experiences did not have a specific and dedicated location ( museum, art gallery ); but they served as a corollary to mystical or more concrete contact with power.
Today we can bring the experience of art to community gathering places without any justification other than the intent to provide a positive emotion.
