The exhibition Breaks recently passed by Giovanni Carta opened the project Soluchifera, which occupied the ground floor of the Museum throughout 2012 with a series of personal exhibitions aimed at a generation of notable artists who in the past actively participated in contemporary artistic research in Sardinia and who have now distanced themselves from the circuits of ‘art. Giovanni Carta, the protagonist of this first appointment, is the author of research oriented, since the first creative phase, towards a desire to simplify the image which makes the sign the protagonist of the composition.

The mature production, up to the most recent results, is characterized by a refined geometric abstractionism. His painting is geometry of the sense as well as of the intellect, in which the rigor of the formal reduction typical of the abstract-geometric line meets that of the analytical research conducted on the primary, physical elements of painting (support, color, layers).

An analytical attitude that however starts from an artisanal feeling, an affective tone of work, a manual dedication that goes back to the very sources of modern experience. Giovanni Carta studied at the Art Institute of Sassari in the 1950s, in that period directed by Filippo Figari, and it was by frequenting the Sassari environment that he came into contact with Mauro Manca and the new ferment that had interested numerous young people in those years artists.
