Karam Cannarella's 'Restanza' Exhibition in Milan

exhibition · 2026-06-22

Karam Sebastiano Cannarella (born 1942), a Sicilian painter who has lived across Europe and the Maghreb, presents his recent works in the exhibition 'Restanza' at Manuel Zoia Gallery in Milan. The show, curated by Vera Agosti, features paintings exploring light, shadow, memory, and oblivion. Cannarella describes his process as removing the resolved, leaving only what remains. His post-expressionist-intimist style defies categorization. The works depict spaces of light on the threshold between memory and oblivion, with shadow becoming the substance of what lingers between lived experience and abandonment, betrayal and metaphysical presences in neoluoghi suspended between past and future. The exhibition is located at via Maroncelli 7.
