ART AT IL BOSCARETO

THE RESORT MEETS CONTEMPORARY ART

Il Boscareto Resort & SPA celebrates the artistic and literary heritage of our region, enriching its hospitality with the opportunity to explore the artistic impressions that its spaces inspire.

Presented here are works by emerging artists and established figures from the Italian and international scene, freely engaging in dialogue with the architecture and convivial spaces. The exhibition project is conceived as a continuous evolution, offering ever-changing combinations of
works and artists, styles and eras, media and techniques, so that the intimacy of hospitality and rest may merge with the vital experience of art.
Through its timeless evocative power, art invites a deeper contemplation and understanding of our territory.

Quayola

The Hall and the Sunsì Bistrot, two bright and convivial spaces on the ground floor of Il Boscareto Resort & SPA, have for several years hosted works by Quayola, a media artist from Rome.

His series “Remains” (2018), an ongoing project, uses highprecision laser scanners to capture natural landscapes in high resolution. The resulting digital renderings contain imperfections within their 3D scans, creating hybrid formations between the real and the artificial, the figurative and the abstract, the old and the new.

Today, Il Boscareto Resort & SPA, in collaboration with the artist, presents a new series titled “Iconographies”, a projectfocusing on the analysis of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, transformed into complex abstract compositions. Rather than offering contemporary reinterpretations of the originals, the works explore classical iconology, creating alternative visual versions of the paintings.

LA REI NATURA BY MICHELANGELO MAMMOLITI FOR LUNETTA11

In the spaces of the restaurant La Rei Natura, the second collaborative episode between the contemporary art gallery Lunetta11 in Mombarcaro, founded by Francesco Pistoi and Claudia Zunino, and Il Boscareto Resort & Spa is presented.

The shared intent of chef Michelangelo Mammoliti and the gallerists to convey the identity of the Langhe territory and its raw materials takes shape in an exhibition itinerary featuring two young artists, Ismaele Nones and Sara Cortesi, in dialogue with the now-established figures Giulio Paolini and Salvo.

Ismaele Nones

The young artist, who likewise, drawing on Byzantine iconography, and in particular the hieratic quality that distinguishes it, reworks everyday scenes of contemporary youth, often emphasizing their playfulness and intimacy. The exhibition path indeed opens with a canvas depicting a convivial scene: three young people eat and converse around a table not yet set, as if to suggest the creative act of chef Michelangelo Mammoliti.

Sara Cortesi

In the private room of La Rei Natura, where the work Margini by the young artist Sara Cortesi is displayed. It consists of a set of glass cutlery whose shapes recall the leaves of wild herbs that grow along the edges of roads, in ditches, and in flowerbeds. These plants, once used as food, represent an ancient and now forgotten knowledge, as well as an attention to the products that nature offers us daily. Just as this work restores importance to these overlooked herbs by transforming them into knives and cutlery, so too does chef Michelangelo Mammoliti’s research aim to rediscover the vegetal element and sublimate the raw materials that the Earth provides.
