Circles Over Venice Angel Brings His Art to the Times of the Biennale

Angel Brings His Art to the Times of the Biennale. Angel Orensanzs work brings an unparalleled energy and creative strength to the contemporary art scene with the spontaneous reproductions of his vision of the dynamics of the earth as a physical and metaphysical entity.

Venice, (PRWEB) June 17, 2005 -- Circles in vibrant colors, geometrical and organic forms, shapes from outer space are cropping up everywhere. They can be seen at the Giardini della Biennale embracing a large sculpture that welcomes the crowds; on tree-tops at the Santa Margharita and San Samuele Piazzas. Orensanzs imprint is also present around the Gran Canal in a semiotic gesture that links to New Yorks Central Park: at the Ca Rezzonico Gallery - the main source of this burst of energy, together with the installation at the Giardini; on the Ponte Treponti at Piazzale Roma, the Ponte San Pantalon and in a garden overlooking the Canal at the Ponte della Academia. On top of this, eighty vaporetti and buses will carry large posters announcing Orensanzs presence in this labyrinth of art and canals.

The Ca Rezzonico Gallery presents a unique art component to this years Biennale: the Orensanz Portfolio includes a rigorous selection of the artists video work; edited by Donna Cameron, it has been loaned to the show, courtesy of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. They document Orensanzs circle constructions around the world: Japan, Brussels, the French Pyrenees, Paris, Venice, etc.

The citywide crop of bright-colored circles whirls and twirls around the retrospective show that gathers drawings, paintings and sculpture of the past ten years at the Ca Rezzonico Galllery. Angel Orensanzs work brings an unparalleled energy and creative strength to the contemporary art scene with the spontaneous reproductions of his vision of the dynamics of the earth as a physical and metaphysical entity.

Parallel to his citywide presence in Venice, Orensanz is presenting a major exhibition in Russia: the exhibition Earth: Death-Birth", was recently at the Alexander Pushkin Museum in Moscow and is now being hosted by the Russian Museum of St. Petersburg.

Angel Orensanz and Maurizio Cesana have been working on Sounds of Venice for the past two years: it is a filmed interpretation of a Venice art report, through Angels eyes. The end product of this creative relationship is a movie that will premier during the Venice Film Festival, at the end of August and for two weeks in September. The relationship between the artist and the magic of the city has been a long-term one, going back to 2001, when Burning Universe was produced with John Spike and Scaravelli.

The wide array of exhibitions and installations around town is concurrent with the 2005 Venice Biennale. The show at the CaRezzonico Gallery will remain open until October 1st.
