In 2010 he had his first personal exhibition entitled \u201cHurricane of Light\u201d, presenting a cycle of works on the theme of the city, the main subject of his work.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition, entitled \u201cLPortraits\u201d, is a series of portraits of the most famous faces of pop-rock from the United States and Canada. Cerri, remaining faithful to his pictorial language, has interpreted famous \u201cicons\u201d: from Bob Dylan to Patti Smith, from Neil Young to Leonard Cohen, from The Ramones to Aerosmith. A gallery of faces where the artist tries to also communicate the expressive \u201catmosphere\u201d of these musicians, trying to translate the spirit of their music in to images.<\/p>\n<p>Giovanni Cerri\u00a0 began his activity as a painter in 1987 and since then has had numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad. In 2011, he exhibited at the 54th Biennale di Venezia, Padiglione Italia, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue in the same format of the LPs with texts by Alberto Figliolia and Bruno Milone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>February 11  \u2013  March 11, 2012<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Saturday, February 11,  4 \u2013 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DE LUCA FINE ART | GALLERY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cLPortraits\u201d<\/strong>, is a series of portraits of the most famous faces of pop-rock from the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=7272\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7272"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7275,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7272\/revisions\/7275"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
