A rhapsody in music is a work characterized by an irregular structure and intense emotional expression.
Free in its structure, it presents a range of moods,
of strongly contrasting colors and tones. Very expressive, rhapsody evokes improvisation and offers an air of spontaneous inspiration.
The exhibition Regards d'ailleurs: Rhapsody en bleu, with the collaboration of the artist David Elia, presents a selection of works produced in cyanotype.
This photographic technique, invented in the 19th century, is a slow-reacting, economical photographic printing formulation sensitive to ultraviolet rays and the blue light spectrum. It produces a cyan blue print used in art as monochrome imagery applicable to a wide range of media.
Cyan blue and the cyanotype technique are the common denominator of this body of work created by a group of creative and talented individuals from the Monaco Disease Power association.
The free structure, just like that of a musical rhapsody, takes us on a fantastic journey through the minds of these young artists, each with a unique approach to the subject. A general feeling of spontaneity, improvisation and intense freedom emerges from this exceptional ensemble.
UNDER THE HONORARY PRESIDENCY OF H.S.H. PRINCE ALBERT II, MONACO DISEASE POWER, AN ASSOCIATION SET UP ON 15 JUNE 2007, AIMS TO HELP PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES AND/OR AUTISM AND THEIR FAMILIES.
COLLABORATING WITH MONACO DISEASE POWER IS FOR MORETTI FINE ART A SOURCE OF PRIDE AND A SOURCE OF EMULATION FOR OUR YOUNG BENEFICIARIES. THESE EXHIBITIONS ARE A TESTAMENT TO THE ESTEEM IN WHICH FABRIZIO MORETTI HOLDS THE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE THEY ARE IN SO MANY WAYS.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS COLLABORATION IS TO ILLUSTRATE THE INVISIBLE LINE THAT SEPARATES REALITY FROM THE INNER WORLD OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE AUTISM AND MENTAL DISABILITY. ALTHOUGH VERBAL SELF-EXPRESSION AND LANGUAGE ARE OFTEN DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, THEY TEND TO FIND IT MORE NATURAL TO EXPRESS
