Hands working. Hands translating impressions
into reality. Hands transforming materials and lending them form,
giving them life, function. Hands making art.
It is from such imagery that the idea of opening Ab Ovo gallery in
Todi's historic town centre sprung forth, an ideal space within which
to showcase the lively and variegated world of contemporary applied
arts.
We believe that the uniqueness of entirely hand-crafted objects, which
so powerfully embody and express man's creative "demon" is something to
be valued and preserved whithin the context of a characteristic yet
contemporary environment that complements the exibits.
Thus "Ab Ovo" a term symbolically suggestive of a return to origins; to
the mysterious and fascinating universe of the hand-made; to the
inimitable beauty of the creative process.
