From November 27th to December 6th, the Tait Group of Turin, at Via Antonio Bertola 26 D, will open a solo exhibition by artist and restorer Cristina Corvino, with a critical presentation on November 28th at 6:30 pm. Corvino's work aims to preserve the memory, the past, and the traditions that every work of art can conceal. Using mixed media on canvas, using natural pigments, lime, and sand, her works—inherently subject to the passage of time—testify to the techniques, materials, and traditions of an artistic past that must not be forgotten. The author states: "I treasure the secrets learned from the old craftsmen thanks to my profession as an architect and restorer. And it is precisely on the various construction sites, in this environment steeped in history, experience, and stratification, that the result materializes in production between past and present. Ancient techniques and traditional materials marry with contemporary taste, where symbolic and technical-compositional references are dismantled, mixed, and repurposed in favor of a new expressive language to fill what was missing and remove what was already there, seeking further existential meaning through metaphors and introspective reflections. The various pictorial series born from my work amaze us with something we perhaps don't immediately understand but perceive as a valuable message. When I intervene in the existing to modify the subject, I do so to liberate a personal and simultaneously universal vision." This gives rise to series of works such as "Lacune," "Consumati," and "Picozzati," which, as curator Stefania Pieralice states, "acquire a new aesthetic meaning, but also represent a thousand possibilities for keeping humanity alive. The art that Cristina defines as "Conservative" is nothing more than an exercise in moral health, a way to stand alongside pain, decadence, the margins, and the merciless passage of time. And the infinite, immortal, can be glimpsed emerging from mistreated, covered, and forgotten forms." Corvino's research, entirely unique in Italy, has led to a registered trademark under the name "Arte Conservativa," from which the Turin exhibition takes its title. The surfaces treated by the artist take on an unparalleled charm, charged with history and the present, with experience and humanity. The author's mission is not only to practice art but above all to ensure the preservation of the value it represents, since—she states—"Beauty is a human right, requires sharing, and becomes political when it is public, destined to build the dignity, morality, and spiritual greatness of a civilization."
