THE BLACK ERA
PRIMO MARELLA GALLERY . MILAN . ITALY
2021

This monumental exhibition is a dialogue between five artists, some Africans and some Afro-Americans, focused on the use of blackness as an allusion to an anticipatory artistic model able to destroy the patterns. Through the extremism in their artistic practices, subvert the system and open new directions for the future of art. For  Joël Andrianomearisoa the colors take on a symbolic value (“white is presence, black is mystery”), the shades of black are the expression of a polyphony that far from being minimalist, it conveys emotions, an aesthetic pleasure, a sense of fragility and mystery.

“J’ai oublié la nuit dans l’attente du 7e jour qui nous réunira le temps d’une rencontre ou pour toujours … baiser blanc pour les désirs noirs” . Joël Andrianomearisoa
