Mostra Passioni umane nell’Inferno di Dante Opere di Franco Murer ad Asiago

From March 5 to May 1, 2022, the Museum Le Carceri di Asiago, will host the exhibition "Human Passions in Dante's Inferno", works by Franco Murer

Franco Murer is the son of art. In the last post-war period his father Augusto, sculptor, had evoked in bronze the sacrifice of the fallen for the homeland. This is testified by the monumental complex of Vittorio Veneto, in Venice the one to the partisan placed by Carlo Scarpa on the water of the lagoon. 

To the solemnity of these commemorations his son Franco now adds the drawing and color of painting capable of a detailed poetic narration. 

In the Asiago exhibition Franco Murer meets Dante. Immersing oneself in Hell, the first and most terrible song, requires an effort of imagination and technique in the choice of color, handwriting, light. But the word is sound that vanishes, so Murer uses color to fix feelings. See the image of Paolo and Francesca immersed in the absolute red of passion, of the Medusa invading with a fiery gaze all the white of the sheet, of the Harpies inextricably twisted on the black / pitch background, or the one where the fight between the devils emerges from the icy blue / night of despair. Thin ink handwriting and pure color backgrounds seem to dialogue with each other, the first as a plot of the narration, the second as a means of expressing emotion. 

On all the dramatic illustrations that rhyme after rhyme, expose the tragedies, the sins of the human condition, the image of the poet emerges, continuously repeated, almost modulated with love and rendered with the elementary instrument of the classically understood portrait. This is how the artist illustrates the degradation and greatness of the characters. He gives us back his way of seeing the intimacy of the human soul not only by means of sign, but through that of color, the true protagonist of medieval macabre dances. It is the chromatic intensity, central in his poetics the essence, the figure of his figuration. 

In the Asiago exhibition through the expressive images of Franco Murer, Alighieri still challenges and moves us. "We are proud and grateful to be able to host Franco Murer in Asiago, his marked sensitivity as a mountain artist is perceived all in the decisive stretch of his works, comparable to the decisive step of the mountaineer who knows how to face the anguish of the vertical looking at the cliff that sinks towards hell without feeling fear. It is from this perspective that we want you to observe Dante's hell in Asiago, interpreted by Franco Murer in this extraordinary exhibition, taking you to the paradise of our mountains, to make you grasp the dizzying emotions of his works", declares the Councilor for Tourism Nicola Lobbia.
