Exhibition

Alchemy of Paper and Stone

An art exhibition of special and fascinating materials: Japanese paper and stone (mostly from Florence). The art of Japanese paper (Washi-Art) is an original technique invented by Meiko Yokoyama:  by tearing up and gluing together colored Japanese paper, the artist creates images that change when hit by light. A blend of reality, fantasy, memories and dreams. The art of stone introduced by Lituana Di Sabatino and Satomi Koyama is Florentine mosaic, a technique which is closely linked to the city of Florence. The works are made by combining the traditional Florentine mosaic technique and the use of beautiful natural materials.
