An intriguing exhibition will be inaugurated on Thursday 15 December at 18.00 in the "Umberto Veruda" room of Palazzo Costanzi in Trieste: "From Leonardo to Andy Warhol female mosaic". It is a review of mosaic works created in our region and which, for the first time, are exhibited starting their journey from Trieste. The exhibition is proposed by the Municipality of Trieste with the contribution of area associations and with the support of Casali Foundations and is organized by the Fondazione Bambini e Autismo ONLUS of Pordenone which, despite its name, also deals with adults with autism mainly in the his center “Officina dell'Arte” which will be twenty years old next year. As explained by the Director of the Foundation, Davide Del Duca "this exhibition partly collects works created over the years as tributes to individual authors that the Workshop has created in the successful series "Mosaically", in part it presents works specially created for the event. However, all the works have the subject in common: the female figure who has always attracted the attention of artists, becoming their inspiring muse for their pictorial and non-pictorial compositions". However, the exhibition wants to be not only a tribute to the female figure in art, but also a cross-section of the work that adults with autism at the Workshop have been able to do, improving techniques over time and presenting, from time to time, "their vision" of the works based more on the choice of details than on the whole. Alongside this aspect, which makes the works of the Workshop unique, there is also the choice of the use of materials to compose the mosaics which are sometimes composed with the traditional ones, polychrome glass tesserae, and with poorer materials: scraps , chosen and juxtaposed for their chromatic characteristics. The mosaics of the Workshop and therefore also those of this exhibition are the result of a collective work where everyone, according to their abilities, adds their contribution with the aim of creating the work. The "special mosaicists" of the Pordenone Center not only create the works, but also follow the setting up of the exhibitions thanks to the work and experience of master mosaicists and operators who, without taking the place of people, teach them how to create the conditions for the exhibition to be enjoyed by the public. The faces of the women contained in this exhibition are captivating and, in their spectacularity, they also tell us how it is possible that people with autism, if placed in the right conditions, can express their talents
