The exhibition space of the famous Biblioteca Angelica in Rome, from 27th April until May 9th 2011, hosts a personal exhibition of Leonardo Chionna entitled "The New Atlantis", produced in collaboration with Artisse. The paintings on show document the research by Chionna, which reaches out towards the "New Atlantis". A project so named by himself, the result of his continuous tension to a language of art increasingly objective and essential in its meanings and references. This research finds completion in a series of paintings, pottery and bronzes that seem to come from the distant future while bringing impressed traces of a past so remote, but very familiar to our contemporaneousness. Chionna materializes his Utopia, a possible new horizon looking at what is to become narating it in plastic forms. His works are witness to a research that projects itself out of its time and from there looks down on our history. In the works of Chionna, traces of ancient and modern civilizations , old and new utopias come from far away travelling in time allowing the observer to investigate, beyond the geometric shell itself, the Interior of the matter, Archetypes of a distant future that give you a glimpse of a past that is "fossilized" in the matter that time brings out to the light, consuming the outer integument.
