Giovanni Maranghi moves among references and transparent metaphors concerning the female universe and the objects that revolve around woman and make her palpable even in her absence, such is the preponderance of her role in the conceptual and constructive economy of this artist (…) men appear as peripheral or absent figures. But not always. It is objects that assimilate the physiognomy and characteristics of people to the point of disappearance. Thus, the artist leads his fancy along the multiple journeys of the imagination, marked by the magical, essential female presence (…) on a route that combines seduction and irony”
Luciano Caprile, 2005
