The exhibition SEGNO | COLORE | FORMA | MATERIA of the master ceramist Gianni Anderle at the evocative cellars of Mirana Tower (Torre Mirana) in Trento (Italy) was inaugurated yesterday, Saturday 07 April 2018 at 6.00 pm.
The artist Gianni Anderle of Pergine was pleased to see his friends and colleagues gathered together, including the Rotal painter Gentile Polo, for the inauguration of the exhibition.
Anderle’s work has been described by Alessandro Fontanari Nerofonte, an artist and employed in the Civezzano library, who compares the work of the master ceramist to alchemy: Anderle manages to shape a simple clay loaf in three-dimensional plastic forms or paintings from the thin sheet, rich in texture and color, according to experiential techniques typical of a consummate master, even though he has only been turned to ceramics for a few years.
It is precisely because of his mastery in shaping the ceramic material that his colleague Gentile Polo asked and obtained from his friend Anderle to visit him at his studio in Pergine to learn some techniques from the master and improve his artistic research. The two artists were enthusiastic to the point that even the ceramist asked to visit the Studio d’Arte Gentile Polo in Roverè della Luna.
Among the numerous and evocative contemporary works on display, it is possible to admire composite panels of tiles painted in different shades of color, statues and three-dimensional spaces, thin jutting sheets and surprising and vibrant textures.
Some of the works that are particularly liked by the artist Gentile Polo are:
- “La vena rossa” (2016, ceramic and enamel)
- “Il Tribuno” (2017)
- “Onde rosse” (2016)
- “Abisso 2” and “Abisso 3” (2017)
- “Le sentinelle” and “Equilibrismo” (2015)
Among the guests also the Sardinian artist Antonello Serra, Stefano Benedetti, Lorenzo LOME Menguzzato, Dr. Pietro Marsilli, the gallery owner Dora Bulart and the archaeologist who worked at the Roman Domus of Mezzocorona with the artist and decorator Gentile Polo, then owner of Pitture e Decori Di Polo Gentile and CSnc who had also contributed to some works at the inaugural exhibition, including:
- “The barrel makes its way on the Via Claudia Augusta” (“La botte fa strada sulla Via Claudia Augusta”)
and a 3D reconstruction of a Roman column with inscriptions visible on the official site:

The only discordant note to the exhibition of the master ceramist Gianni Anderle is the now, unfortunately, noted and consolidated absence of the FIDA Trento Artists Federation (including President and Vice President, who even show up on Facebook as “interested” and “participants”) artist belongs, absence both in the support and in the presences. Sin. However, the support of our friends is still firm and constant, including us at the Studio d’Arte Gentile Polo!
SEGNO|COLORE|FORMA|MATERIA of the master ceramist Gianni Anderle will remain open every day until April 16, with the following hours: 10 – 12, 16 – 19 at the suggestive cellars of Mirana Tower in Trento (Italy). Free entry. Highly recommended by the Studio d’Arte Gentile Polo, do not miss it!
