Catalogue Note
"L'attitudine di Bonalumi nei confronti della propria pittura è sempre stata la medesima […]: quando l'artista riteneva "sufficientemente" analizzata ed esaurita una delle possibilità linguistiche che lui stesso si era scelto, passava ad altro, con una sorta di progettata leggerezza che non molti hanno capito interamente, e che invece costituisce una delle componenti più interessanti del suo atteggiamento nei confronti del fare arte."
Marco Meneguzzo
"Bonalumi's attitude with regards to his work has always been the same […]: once the artist deemed a linguistic possibility he chose as being sufficiently analyzed and exhausted, he would move on to another with a projected lightness that many did not fully understand. However it is one of the most interesting components of his attitude with regards to creating art."
