Ab Ovo Gallery - Genesis
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.
