“There are no words to describe our emotion – we read on the Facebook page of Bludiprussia -. There are no words to describe our emotion.
When an artistic and historical avant-garde is missing, it is like a lighthouse goes out. He has given so much with his intellect and his pictorial commitment to us as an exhibition space, founded with his participation, to grow and characterize us in this wonderful world of creativity. We will miss your improvisations, your controversies, your flashes of genius, your automatic gesture and much more. The world of Albissola art, which lived the artistic adventure with you between the 1950s and today, does not forget you. The international meetings of ceramics, debates, exhibitions, performances, the works placed in our town and among collectors, you have given us all this. It will be a void that we will try to fill by continuing to keep your memory and contacts with your collectors alive. In 2021 your last exhibition at Bludiprussia in Albissola Marina “twins” with a surreal but concrete title, desired by you. Your works dialogued with those of your great friend Luiso Sturla and we are happy to have proposed it because we have a recent memory of another beautiful adventure spent together. With these words we join in the condolences of your family and all those who have known and loved you. (Sergio Dangelo’s photo taken from the Bludiprussia Facebook page).
