108 – “Seventeen Dens” Exhibition at Ego Gallery | Teaser

Di 108 seguiamo sempre molto volentieri gli sviluppi artistici e le nuove strade che l’artista intraprende, dove aver avuto modo di conoscerlo e farvelo conoscere affondo con lo speciale Eyes On, abbiamo scoperto con molto piacere che l’artista si trova in Svizzera per preparare la sua prossima esibizione dal titolo “Seventeen Dens” presso la Ego Gallery di Lugano.

Ego gallery is preparing for the arrival of winter, welcoming an artist who has found his balance amid the snow and fog.The Seventeen dens exhibition offers the public the opportunity to slip into the unusual imagery of 108, inside which everyone can find shelter.

There are 108 earthly temptations one must overcome to achieve Nirvana; according to Buddhists and Hindus, mantras should be repeated 108 times; 108° is the angle of the Pentagon – one of the most important angles that comprise the golden ratio. 108 is also a fascinating number for Guido Bisagni (Alexandria, 1978) who has chosen this number as his pseudonym for quite some time now. This figure intrigues the creator both due to its poetic and esoteric connotations as well as for its formal appearance: stripping the number 108 down to the bone leaves us with only a line and three circles. At the end of the 90s, following contemporary artists such as Stak, Guido Bisagni began a new personal quest to become one of the first artists of the Post-European graffiti to leave lettering, so as to focus on this mysterious sequence of numbers.

L’esibizione aprirà le porte il 7 Novembre, per chi fosse in zona un’opportunità di unica di entrare nel incredibile immaginario del grande artista italiano, per tutti gli altri a suo tempo consueto recap con le immagini dell’apertura.
