104GALERIE

104GALERIE is holding an exhibition “Room 104” by Rudy Cremonini who works based in Bologna, Italy in the period between
Friday, 19th November and Saturday 18th December 2021. This exhibition is his second show after three years, and showing 11
pieces of all new work in various sizes.

Rudy Cremonini was born in Bologna, Italy in 1981, and has graduate Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, and works in the same
region. His major exhibitions are; “Del processo e dell’ archivio (City Museum of Rimini, Italy, 2019), “Nessun Dorma” (Reggia diCaserta, Italy, 2018), “The Club” (Galerie Thomas Fuchs, Stuttgart, Germany, 2017), “The Burning Island” (City Museum ofBelgrade, Serbia, 2017) among others, and he has been involved in many international solo and group exhibitions like those in
the US, France, Germany, and of course in Italy, gaining high acclaim internationally.

The theme that Cremonini pursues has never changed: emotional contradictions and conflicts created between safe, comfortable,and convenient environments and freedom deprived of those things. In his painting, motifs full of life are always surrounded orenclosed, hinting at the presence of limitations.
The work in this exhibition depicts a private party in Room 104, a stage upon which we see an exclusive group of attendees, theirdifferent desires and pleasures, the prices they pay, and their controlled freedom.
Above all, what is interesting in this theme is the joy they experience through the sacrifices they make.

“The sinister thing is that perhaps there is pleasure in this kind of sacrifice; we are all predisposed to sacrifice certain things inexchange for survival. This is fundamentally the theme that occurs throughout my work.” – Rudy Cremonini, from Interview with
Rudy Cremonini April 2017; Caroline Berner Kühl and Claudia Polter in Rudy Cremonini. Nessun dorma, 2017

The people and things appearing in the work in this exhibition have the charms that are humorous or somewhat cute. However theextreme personal conflict in emotions and the sense of solitude hidden in those motives create subdued and profound art. We
would like many people to visit and see the work that depicts surreptitious(secret) happenings in Room 104, by Rudy Cremonini.
