No comments yetMostra personale di STEFANO ZANUS
Usare il termine poliedrico è sicuramente riduttivo quando si parla di Stefano Zanus e delle sue multi-direzionali attività: pittore, grafico, fotografo, scultore, creatore di installazioni, performer, giornalista, animatore di attività artistiche. Un’esperienza tecnico-umanistica lunga quasi cinquant’anni, tutta all’insegna della curiosità, della sperimentazione,... (more)

Comments closedSOLO EXHIBITION BY FEDERICO BEVILACQUA
Curiosity, experimentation and instinct: three descriptions that best sum up Federico Bevilacqua’s approach to photography.
