Pablo Atchugarry: Una vita tra Lecco e il Mondo (Pablo Atchugarry: A Life Between Lecco and the World)
On the forty-fifth anniversary of his arrival in Italy and the first exhibition in 1978 in the city of Lecco, the Municipal Administration pays tribute to Pablo Atchugarry with a retrospective exhibition: Pablo Atchugarry: Una vita tra Lecco e il mondo. Works from 1978 to 2023.
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1954, Atchugarry has made the city of Lecco his home and a source of inspiration. Through his sculptural works and art, he has brought the name of Lecco to the world stage. In 2018, he was honored with the title of Officer of the Order of the Star of Italy by President Sergio Mattarella, recognizing his cultural contributions on an international level.
The city of Lecco celebrates the Maestro of marble with a unique event, an anthology exhibition that allows the people of Lecco, tourists, and art enthusiasts to delve into his artistic journey. This comprehensive showcase highlights Atchugarry's rich body of work, revealing the profound relationship between form, material, and light.
This exhibition encompasses Pablo Atchugarry's entire artistic journey, from painting to woodwork, and his exploration of bronze, ultimately leading to his discovery and deep passion for marble, particularly the statuary marble of Carrara. In Atchugarry's hands, blocks of this metamorphic rock come to life, taking shape and soaring towards the sky, creating a harmonious contrast between the whiteness of the material and the blue of the sky.
