The Galleria San Fedele in Milan hosts in its rooms the Nanda Vigo exhibition titled SkyTracks, curated by Marco Meneguzzo. An artist with a diverse profile, designer and architect, Nanda Vigo works on the relationship between space and light. His works are fully integrated into the artistic panorama of the Fifties and Sixties when the artist attended the studio of Lucio Fontana and came into contact with the artists of the Azimut gallery in Milan, Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani. Nanda Vigo in those years remains fascinated by the ZERO group and adheres to it with collective and personal exhibitions.

The SkyTracks exhibition, which features the artist's recent works, offers visitors a multi-sensory experience: you are immersed in a landscape made up of red and blue neon lights, phosphorescent reflections, games of images and mirrors. Triangles and trapeziums of mirroring black crystal, with sharp edges sharp as sharp blades, pierce the atmospheric space. Concentric geometric figures, one inside the other, create labyrinths of light and illusory visions. The shapes refer to each other, yet none coincide in size and orientation: the corners always open new perspectives and offer unexpected tangents. Divergent and elusive paths of light feed a fantasy of space, a sort of celestial geometry: the mirrored black crystal opens the doors to the depths of the galaxy, trapezoids and triangles recall pointed stars and informal celestial bodies.

Evident are the artistic influences felt by Nanda Vigo: the sculptures stand out in the space like black and transparent crystals, which make think of the crystals of Giò Ponti, with whom the artist has collaborated from 1965 to 1968; the filaments of neon light, which retro-illuminate the crystals, recall the spatialism of Lucio Fontana ...

The exhibition highlights the fascinating contrast between immateriality and solidity: the geometric figures, solid and bodily, are rendered immaterial by neon lights. The red light pulsates along the perimeter of the works creating a halo of energy, the blue light envelops the shapes giving them a breath of lightness and immateriality.
