Trialogo at Galleria L’Opera

Trialogo is the first exhibition at the new Andrea Iezzi’s Galleria L’Opera in Rome. Three artists – Mauro Maugliani, Gonzalo Orquín and Luis Serrano – took an exploration between painting, photography and video art, realizing works on three themes: nuns, weddings, interiors. The result is a mix of glimpses bouncing among the lives of bourgeoisie, images of a creed, and the different ways of say “I will.” This last part generates a great hype and a strong reaction from the Vicariate of Rome, that sent a formal warning letter to the gallery after a preview of a series of photo portraits by Orquín, where homosexual couples where kissing inside churches of the city. Orquín immediately obscured his work with black panels and put under it a series of crosses: an image of joy turned into something dark. The ensemble exposed now in the gallery is missing one of its parts, improved with something new. Interpretation is up to the visitors.
