DESCRIPTION: Nextarte, through Proevolution S.r.l. Simona and Future Project S.r.l., promotes the exhibition "Caravaggio - Shadows and Mystery," which will be held from July 17th to August 1st 2010, at the gallery of the International Center O.A.D., situated in Via del Corso 45 (Old town / Near Spanish Square) in Rome. This exhibition isn't just a mere tribute to Michelangelo Merisi, the great master of the "light", for the 400th anniversary of his death, but it aim to propose, to all artists from all over the world, to create inspired works, exploiting the maximum color and contrasts, using their favourite painting and photography techniques. For this reason, we start from what Caravaggio said about light in his works: "light intended as...  "because we would like to encourage established and emerging artists to celebrate the great Michelangelo Merisi (Caravaggio in art) with a contemporary work that keeps an eye on the artists of the past who have made our country famous for its  artistic and cultural richness.
