Broken Years: Alberto Besson at Officina dell'Arte (Piacenza)

Broken Years: Alberto Besson at Officina dell'Arte

Broken Years is a solo exhibition by Alberto Besson hosted at Officina dell'Arte in Piacenza. The exhibition highlights works where time appears fractured and form is shaped by internal dynamics, creating compositions that oscillate between rupture and recomposition.

The display features surfaces and modules that aggregate and transform, guiding the viewer through layered visual rhythms. Besson's approach favors an autonomous formal construction over direct references to reality, prompting readings based on juxtaposition and deviation.

Born in Crema and active since the 1960s, Alberto Besson has built a career through exhibitions, editorial collaborations and participation in national and international shows. His practice links painting with a sustained interest in the relationship between image and narrative structure.

The curatorial framework emphasizes a progressive redefinition of space: each element contributes to a deliberately unstable equilibrium, where form outlines assemble and reassemble to generate new configurations.
