‘Surprise!’ is the art piece created by Matteo Cainer for the 5th Edition of the ‘L’arte nell’uovo di Pasqua’ - the Art in the Easter Egg. This is an international charitable art event in Rome, promoted by Sergio Valente and Francesco Stella. The exhibition brings together artists, sculptors, designers and architects of national and international importance who have been chosen to produce work on the theme of the Easter egg.
Our participation was not only to benefit the charitable foundation for Autism, but it was also in direct relation with the beliefs and concepts that have emerged in our society around Easter itself. ‘Surprise!’ reflects on the commercial concept of surprise and at the same time on the unwavering belief upheld in Christianity and religion.
