Italian Scene

April Woods, Christian Rainer

I had the chance to meet Christian Rainer in Trentino lately where I was invited to have a personal show. Christian had three pieces during the whole event that lasted for 3 days, among those Falena:
City lights were entirely turned off, while Christian played the piano inside the Church and you could hear his music going through all the darkness, like introducing people to something that is about to happen, like preparing them for silence, for an uncommon break in their lives; at the end of the music, lights were only turned on in the Palazzo DeMartin, people were now conscious of one of the most beautiful things they have, a Building from the 400 ‘s.
Christian said: There is already so much, why creating more….
He points out what is already there but we can’t see it anymore..

Christian Rainer has multiple origins and feels equally from each place, where he was born, where he was grown and where he lives now, Italy. He is a musician and a visual artist, a powerful creative mind.

Christian just had a couple of videos at Centro Pecci that I highly recommend to see. On this event called Videminuto other two young artists where exhibiting, Ericailcane and Marco Raparelli, these three artists strongly represent the various ways Italian contemporary scene is developing. Ericailcane with his almost disturbing creatures and Marco Raparelli with his amazing sense of humour.

My suggestion is to go and check these artists, they might be the future in the Italian scene
