Antonio Recca Retrospective at Catania's Modern Art Gallery Explores Silent Painting
A major retrospective of artist Antonio Recca, titled 'Il silenzio del gesto. Nel punto esatto in cui mi perdo comincio a sentire,' is on view at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Catania until April 12, 2026. Curated by Giacomo Fanale and organized with the City of Catania, the exhibition features fifty abstract landscapes created from 2009 to the present. Recca's work, described as intimate and sensory, emphasizes quiet contemplation and connection with nature through vibrant, softly blended colors. The show includes a musical performance by Kaballà on March 29, 2026, to enhance the auditory experience of the paintings. Recca, born in 1957 and active in Milan and internationally, draws from abstract expressionism while developing a distinctive chromatic style.
