Origin of the name: Opis, deity of abundance<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The name Opis<\/strong> has mythological roots: it was a Roman deity associated with abundance<\/strong> and prosperity<\/strong>. Symbolically, this term defines a place of connection between the richness of tradition and contemporary creative language.<\/p>\n

A place of excellence and dialogue between eras and styles<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

Spazio Opis presents itself as a place where it is possible to admire works of exceptional quality and rarity<\/strong>, without limitations of era or language. The gallery offers a reading of the history of art (and of History tout court) inspired by the concept of “Mus\u00e9e Imaginaire<\/strong>” evoked by Andr\u00e9 Malraux<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“The immensity of space and time of the world, with their innumerable works of art and the equal variety of styles, are made to coexist and dialogue with each other in the present of a circumscribed space.”<\/p>\n

The gallery will exhibit both single works of great impact and new combinations<\/strong>, true liaisons dangereuses<\/em>, between works of different origins, always in deep mutual dialogue<\/strong> and with a criterion of excellence and rarity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Rome as an artistic and historical palimpsest<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The gallery aims to be a “space-time door<\/strong>” that opens and closes on the immense historical and artistic palimpsest of Rome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He believes that Rome<\/strong> is a plot of artistic experiences<\/strong>, on which the spirit of the world rests, a constellation in which each work\u2014even if it comes from the antipodes\u2014can:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Isolating itself in its black casket<\/strong>, becoming more permeable to the material, historical and spiritual light of Rome<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The installation: black as the “zero degree” of space and time<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The exhibition space is characterized by a black dominant<\/strong>, conceived as a zero degree<\/strong> of time and space. In this context, the artwork:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

It abstracts itself from its original context, becoming an icon without a past and closed to the future<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This anthropological reset allows the present vision to enjoy every aspect of the work, while the historical concreteness of its events emerges like a deep breath<\/strong>, held and released by its aesthetic power.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
