On Thursday, June 25, 2015, Andrea Benetti‘s exhibition entitled “Astrattismo delle origini” opened at the Carlo V Castle in Lecce, featuring twenty-five works on canvas and the presentation of the video art piece “essentia,” created by Andrea Benetti, Audrey Coianiz, and Saul Saguatti. “Astrattismo delle origini” is a project promoted and sponsored by the City of Lecce, MUST (Historical Museum of Lecce), and the Cultural Association Italian Art Promotion, and was curated by Professor Toti Carpentieri. It is an exhibition of Neo-Cave painting inspired by the abstractionism of the origins, including the video artwork “essentia,” which had already premiered in April during Andrea Benetti‘s exhibition “VR60768 · Anthropomorphic Figures“, promoted by the University of Bologna and the University of Ferrara, and held in Rome at the Chamber of Deputies.
