The staff “Casabarata” represents the outcome of a process that began in December 2013 and Tangeri, in Marocco, where Thomas Berra has just completed an artist residency program. Exchange, research and interaction are the underlying themes of this work that, united enthusiasm and energy that Morocco has returned to the artist, are brought to Milan within the space of Bank System.
The sample, that unfolds over two floors in the offices of the Bank, comprising: 28 framed drawings on paper by the themes and colors with strong Moroccan influences, 32 free designs in shades of blue and a triptych by the size Baconian whose protagonists are a tree and “Liars”, Timbro in Thomas Berra dal 2012.
Complete exposure of the symbol shows, the totemic work that represents the summary of all this work: “Casabarata”, a real home to over two meters in height, made of wood and recycled materials. A symbol taken from their home in Milan Barata, the popular market of Tangiers.
The exhibition is therefore the result of a journey, whose influence is found with evidence in the artist, never forgetting the starting point, but enriching consciousness.
