Directed by Sol Miraglia, Hugo Manso
Argentina, 2021

Synopsis

A artist must face the passing of time in his works, his body and the the world of contemporary art’s indifference. Strong arms, big muscles, and naked bodies are part of tcolossal fight against oblivion and mold; they fade into the blue, drown within it and disappear like birds in the sky.

Our take

Rising steam, creamy silk, and the tautness of stretched canvas: Sol Miraglia and Hugo Manso’s observational portrait of Ricardo Cinalli delights in contrasting substances and textures. The Olympus of painting reflects on ephemerality and the artistic body, confronting the crushing passage of time.
