Sergio Sarra (Pescara 1961) is an Italian artist and former basketball player.

Contents

In 1985, at the age of 24, he retired from playing competitively in order to study at the School of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, concluding in 1987. Sarra took part in the Biennial of Young Artists from Mediterranean Europe [1] [2] (Barcelona – 1987), Venice Biennale [3] at the Corderie dell'Arsenale (1993) in Aperto '93, [4] [5] [6] at the Italian Pavilion (2011) [7] [8] and in the Havana Biennial [9] [10] (2000). Sarra curated the group exhibition Conversione di Saulo [11] [12] at Palazzo Chigi Odescalchi (Rome – 2000) and exhibited at the Muzeul Naţional de Artă Contemporană (Bucharest – 2007) and the WAX Winkler Art Xperience (Budapest – 2007) in Altered States – Are you experienced?, group exhibition curated by Nicolas Bourriaud and Paolo Falcone, and at Baths of Diocletian (Rome – 2008) at Cose mai viste [13] curated by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 2019, Sarra exhibited at 4th Festival del Paesaggio [14] in Anacapri.

Other group exhibitions at: Palazzo Rondanini alla Rotonda (Rome – 1989), Palazzo della Permanente (Milan – 1991) and Espace Pierre Cardin (Paris – 1992), 34th Spoleto Festival of 2Worlds (Fonti del Clitunno – 1991), Fondazione Orestiadi (Gibellina – 1992), Palazzo delle Esposizioni (Rome – 1992, 1995), Fondazione Volume! (Rome – 2000).

Sarra has held solo exhibitions at public and private institutions including the Faculty of Architecture of University of Palermo (1998), the Micromuseum for Contemporary Art and Culture (Palermo – 2004), Circolo Filologico Milanese (Milan – 2008), the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia (Rome – 2013), the Ewha Womans University (Seoul – 2016), the Benedictine Abbey of Propezzano (Morro d'Oro – 2018), Mattatoio Museo d'Arte Contemporanea (Rome - 2019).

From the beginning of his artistic career, Sarra worked almost exclusively with painting, drawing and sculpture. In 1997, the art critic and curator Lorenzo Benedetti wrote: [15]

[...] In Sarra ci troviamo di fronte ad una intensa sinteticità dal punto di vista del processo formale a vantaggio di una maggiore concentrazione al dato concettuale… L'animale, i paesaggi e i volti vengono stilizzati fino al limite del riconoscibile [...]
([...] With Sarra we are faced with an intense conciseness from the perspective of the formal process in favour of a greater concentration on the conceptual factor… The animal, the landscapes and the faces are stylised to the limit of being recognisable [...])

— Lorenzo Benedetti, in"The Sacred of Fusi and the Sign of Sarra", [16] May 1997

He played for the national youth teams, making his debut at sixteen in the Italian Series A basketball championship with the Fortitudo Bologna team. [17]


Upon completing his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna [18] (1987), Sarra then moved to Rome where he held his first solo exhibition at the Galleria Alice in 1990, [19] presenting an installation consisting of four painted sheets of glass and crossed by white light from industrial neon tubes. Such works – being glass – on which Sarra drew symbolic and enigmatic figures, went on to become a constant in his work. In this sense, two solo exhibitions – Trinacria dream [20] [21] (Oporto – 2007) and un ambiente, sei vetri [22] (Rome – 2013) – appear indicative. In occasion of the exhibition in Portugal, art critic Miguel Amado wrote: [23]

[…] Referencing classicism and employing symbolism in creating his enigmatic vision of the world, Sarra calls attention to the iconic power of the handmade image in Western civilization.

— Miguel Amado, in"Sergio Sarra – MCO Arte Contemporânea", [23] artforum.com, 2 April 2017

Over the next few years, he produced a series of paintings on emulsified canvas [24] – Primitive [25] – comprising zoomorphic figures that were almost always mirror images. [26] The artist was invited to take part in the Aperto '93 Emergency/Emergenza [3] [4] [5] - 45th Venice Biennale, where he created an environment consisting of a long wooden platform [27] in chipboard with three paintings on the walls featuring: Iguane, [28] Paesaggio [29] and Autoritratto. [30] Clarity and essentiality become the dominant factors in his work.

In the paintings after 1997, the artist poses with his 'sign-drawing', being continuous and abstract, various elements – faces, zoomorphic groups, buildings with unknown geometries – that insist upon previous pictorial composition processes that are not entirely erased to reveal further combinatorial forms. [31] In Une correspondance sur les fantômes avec Sergio Sarra [32] between Sarra e Nicolas Bourriaud in May 2007, the French critic and theorist wrote:

[…] Vos travaux font penser à des palimpsestes, ces manuscrits que leur auteur trace sur un document existant, sans effacer la ou les couches d'écriture précédentes. […]
([…] Your works make one think of palimpsests, namely of those manuscripts that an author writes over an earlier text, without cancelling previous layers of writing. […])

—  Nicolas Bourriaud, in"Une correspondance sur les fantômes avec Sergio Sarra", [33] Sergio Sarra, catalogue, May 2007

In 2000, in Rome, his works were exhibited at the Fondazione Volume!. [34] [35] In the same year, Sarra curated at Palazzo Chigi Odescalchi the group exhibition Conversione di Saulo [12] that was developed around the painting of the same name, painted in 1600 by Caravaggio. Also in 2000, Sarra married Elisabetta Ruscitti in Amalfi, with whom he lived for a short time in Naples. In 2001, their son Gerolamo Papik Merlino was born. It was in Naples that he produced Table Sculpture (table projection on 12 points), [36] [37] a table/sculpture with a huge red Komodo dragon hooked underneath.

Over the same period, he produced the performance Life drawing no. 2, [36] [38] representing the connection between the manual creation and collective fruition [39] in which Sarra coerces the public's perceptive nature, using a strobe light to produce a decisive intermittence between darkness and light. This is the same direction in which Sarra heads when painting 'from real life' inside the WAX Kultúrgyár in Budapest and the Muzeul Naţional de Artă Contemporană in Bucharest for the exhibition Altered States – Are you Experienced? [40] [41] (2006–2007). Between 2006 and 2009, Sarra worked on a series of paintings entitled Psichedelyc garden, [36] in which he reiterates the same design, altering the chromatic impact each time.

In 2011, Sarra published perché la spiaggia si assottiglia dopo le Nàiadi, [42] [43] a book in which he collates a series of drawings and writings focused on the city of Pescara. In 2012, he designed Handrail for Cubist Films, [36] [44] inspired by Fernand Léger's 1924 film Ballet Mécanique , and the diptych Involuntary Commitment, [36] which was exhibited at Galleria Cesare Manzo [45] in Rome and at Fuori Uso 2012 [31] in Pescara.

[…] Anche in quest'ultima occasione Sarra elabora un percorso in cui l'apparente 'ripetizione' dell'opera viene simultaneamente smentita. Il tentativo di dipingere due quadri uguali sposta l'attenzione del pubblico sull'abilità pittorica, la copia, l'indifferenza. Lo sforzo esercitato diventa un 'impegno controvoglia'. […]
([…] Also on this occasion, Sarra expounds a path along which the apparent 'repetition' of the work is simultaneously denied. The attempt to paint two equal paintings shifts the public's attention to the pictorial ability, to copying, to indifference. The effort exerted becomes an 'involuntary commitment'. […])

— Simone Ciglia, in"The indifferents" [45] (press release), exhibart.com, March 2010

In June 2016, Sarra was invited to exhibit at the Ewha Womans University in Seoul, where he presented a series of drawings and paintings entitled iceberg rosaspina, [46] accompanied by a short text written by the artist:

I am painting icebergs, a series of icebergs. Each of them is a still life drawing, even though it may look like an automatisme. Icebergs are wandering and solitary shapes subject to imperceptible transformation, and they incorporate other shapes and remote images. The submerged part of these ice mountains is almost completely invisible and its balance and flotation capacity is strictly connected to the emerging part. When this ration ceases to exist, icebergs can overturn with deafening sounds, showing the part which has been hidden for millennia.

— Sergio Sarra, in"Icebergs" [47] (press release), 24 May 2016

Traces of the theoretical processes underlying his works can be found in the short film My Painting Technique (2009, 2015). [48]

Critical review

Since the early Nineties, Sergio Sarra has been exploring the iconic nature of painting, (and of sculptural installations and performances) to approach things through an abstract comprehension, while also conjuring up ancestral figures: "it would be important for me to be able to make a really archaic drawing, that can be recognized only by one's consciousness, and has never been seen in real life".
For Sarra, the manual aspect of drawing is akin to a sort of imponderable writing, executed "from life" but detached from any interest in spatial composition; "the color must only be meaningful, not descriptive", and "a painting is finished when it resists the company of the other work in the studio."
Each piece is generated by an observing consciousness, that moves within autobiographical spaces and cultural affiliations, interrelating signs in redundant sequences: architectural antinomies, dualities, border zones, specious repetitions; transparent grids and aporias.
His home studio project is a clear form that interprets one of the artist's favorite landscapes: a protected space, personal and familiar, that fosters suggestions and ideas, where Sergio Sarra has organized his own painting possibilities.
