Il senso di Luigi Ontani per la maestria della ceramica e delle arti popolari
Francesca Pirozzi
Luigi Ontani represents an emblematic figure to explain the co-creation paradigm of the work of art based on the synergic relationship between creator and performer. Thanks to his collaboration with excellent craftsmen, Ontani indeed achieved the most spectacular results of his artistic production, by enhancing and enlivening traditional crafts and cultures otherwise destined to oblivion. Among the many techniques he experimented and the numerous art masters he collaborated with in Italy and abroad, ceramics stands out, especially in the period when he worked with Davide Servadei, artistic director of the historical ceramic art workshop Bottega Gatti in Faenza.
