Comics and illustrations by Lorenzo Mattotti

In Mirano (Venice), the Belvedere park is a place of enchantment capable of fascinating artists.
Its avenues, the ancient trees, the Muson river that crosses it, the aristocratic villas, the meadows and the mills, have been fixed on the canvas by countless painters, more or less famous.
Now even a master of illustration and comics like Lorenzo Mattotti has been enchanted by the views of the Belvedere to the point of dedicating twelve images full of colors and suggestions to him. In them Mattotti not only reproduces some particularly scenographic environments of the park, but above all he captures their essence, captures the atmosphere, identifies the silences, the perfumes and secret shades; perceives unexpected perspectives, caresses the statues that stare at the sky, perhaps waiting for a light capable of animating them, dwells on the reflections of the water and on the stirring of the branches of the magnolias which, thanks to its palette, seem to evoke the invisible flow of human feelings.
The twelve unpublished images created by Lorenzo Mattotti will be exhibited in the barchessa of Villa Giustinian Morosini in Mirano (Venice) from November 16 to December 14, 2008 in an exhibition entitled "The Belvedere, comics and illustrations by Lorenzo Mattotti" which will also host a solo show of the Brescian artist, composed of almost one hundred comic strips and illustrations in order to make a valuable overview of his creativity.
The documentary "Mattotti", produced by Mithil Production and directed by Renato Chiocca, will also be screened in the video room of the exhibition, which contains an interview with the author as well as examples of his works and pieces from cartoons made by him.
The exhibition "Il Belvedere, comics and illustrations by Lorenzo Mattotti" is organized by the Municipality of Mirano.
