Big Bang presents around thirty works from Gabriele Maquignaz’s latest research, exploring the creation of space and time through a symbolic and explosive gesture. Using controlled gunfire, the artist transforms the physical act into a conceptual expression, capturing the primordial deflagration and the emergence of new pictorial spaces. The color expands at high velocity, forming patterns that appear random yet reveal an underlying cosmic order.
The exhibition reflects Maquignaz’s ongoing dialogue between art, science, and spirituality, combining quantum physics, philosophical inquiry, and his artistic vision. Rooted in the legacy of Spatialism and Lucio Fontana, Big Bang goes beyond space to include time, symbolically retracing the very moment of creation.
