MARCO CARNÀ STRUTTURE PRIMARIE
“For purchase, address your imagination. I only sell my works executed in the past. Reserve those of the future.” Marco Carnà (1929 - 2021) was born in Italy, in Carnate, the place from which he chose to take his name. Painter, sculptor, draughtsman and poet, he was an artist of incredible creativity. In 1958 he settled in Milan and associated with innovative artists, such as Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani; he exhibited in Rome, Milan, Paris, London, but at the peak of success he refused the conditioning of the market and decided to withdraw to Carnate. “Carnà never bartered play with jest. He always managed to work whilst playing: he occupied square kilometres of sheets and canvases, woods, plasters, metals, cardboards, stones, thus the writer Giro Melis describes him. “He resembles no artist of this century. Knowing from the most tender age that he did not possess himself, he never sold himself to anyone”. Author of innovative shaped canvases, but also an extraordinary interpreter of the Christian message (his are the two great stained-glass windows on the facade of the Duomo di Monza), he invented an original formal alphabet: the Strutture primarie (Primary Structures). Accumulations of “tubes”, ideal channels that represent the infinite possibilities of connection, premise of life. An artist whom criticism is finally rediscovering as one of the protagonists of Italian art of the last seventy years.

In the Sixties the shaped canvases of Marco Carnà dialogue with those of Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi and Turi Simeti. It will be a language that the artist will develop coherently until unprecedented figurative pop outcomes.
