Crazy Little Things – Donatella Chiara Bedello’s personal exhibition at Terme di Relilax (Padua, Italy)

On Friday, November 1st, 2024 at 7:30 pm Donatella Chiara Bedello’s  personal exhibition “Crazy Little Things” will open at the Bistrot of Terme di Relilax Boutique Hotel & Spa in Montegrotto Terme (Padua, Italy).

“Crazy Little Things” comes from the instinctive and immediate synergy that arose from the meeting between the General Manager Consuelo Braggion and her family and the artworks of Donatella Chiara Bedello.

The prestigious setting of the Terme di Relilax Boutique Hotel & Spa dialogues with the hyper-realistic works of Donatella Chiara Bedello united by the attention to detail (little things). On the occasion of this exhibition, which will be opened from November 1, 2024 to March 2, 2025, she exhibits a selection of original canvases painted in acrylic and reproductions on canvas of unavailable works.

Details are the focal point of Consuelo Braggion’s activity as well as Donatella’s. Their attention to every detail, their meticulousness in taking care of every little particular is the quality that emerges and pervades the entire visit to the hotel. Nothing is left to chance, the environment is cared for, clean, tidy, warm, enveloping. With the same, almost obsessive, commitment, Donatella takes care of every detail of her artworks: she takes care of shapes, colors, angles, nuances, reflections. Everything, for both, contributes to the creation of the perfect result, of the experience of well-being for both the body and the mind.

“Donatella Chiara Bedello chooses as her subject the windows of New York shops opened in the ’70s, which tell stories of people who seem coming out of an American novel and places that come to mind like postcards of a world now outclassed by the manias of capitalist society. Her paintings are open doors to historical activities whose memory the artist has decided to meticulously preserve, one brushstroke and one detail at a time.

Visitors are admired. Unbelieving. At first they are attracted by the subject, guitars, comics, books, tin cans on display. Afterward they notice the people, inside or outside the store. Then the signs, advertisements, promotions, signs. All the reflections. And the more they observe, the more their imagination runs wild, they are thrown into an American novel, a New York TV series, they walk the streets, and feel they can really see the barber, the salami shop, the pharmacy. ”Donatella’s paintings are a window on a different world, which I can design every day as I wish,” said one of our clients once, and it seems true to me.” – Alice Faga, introduction of the monography Open Doors
