Art
Artistic works enrich Elizabeth Unique Hotel’s public spaces and rooms. Their curator is Fabrizio Russo, owner of the historical Russo Art Gallery on via Alibert, a few steps away from Piazza di Spagna.
The protagonists of the collection are Italian artists, such as Enrico Benetta, who ‘writes’ sculptures where letters have a new narrative approach; Veronica Montanino and her labyrinthine hypnotic painting; and Manuel Felisi with his macro collages about a Nordic imagery of skies and forests.
Michael Gambino’s evanescent graceful works, which seem to sculpt the harmonic flow of the organic matter, adorn the walls. Luca Di Luzio exhibits works from the project Atlas Ego Imago Mundi, where he portrays parts of his body as imaginary islands on an atlas. Finally, Giorgio Tentolini makes sculpture-paintings weaving metal wire creating faces, statues, details, which through the research of light are prepared for a new existence.
