Since the 1980s, the body and memory are recurring themes and essential elements of Umberto Manzo’s poetics.
The artist overlaps pieces of paper and canvas in his works, gathering together images and signs made with multiple techniques.
Over time, he has included various forms and materials in his memory archives. He began by depicting his own body on emulsified canvases and papers, gradually distilling the forms and drawing inspiration from classical statuary, while experimenting with new linguistic and chromatic solutions, including the use of gold leaf.
The exhibition will feature some of his most recent works, including large-scale canvases and new studies on female statuary.
The exhibition will be open to the public until 31 January.
