Pietrantonio's Fishing Nets and Adriatic Colors at Galerie Faidherbe

Galerie Faidherbe in Paris presents an exhibition of work by Pietrantonio, an artist from the small village of Ischitella in the Puglia region of Italy. The show runs from October 15 to November 14, 2026 at 18 rue Jean-Macé, 75011 Paris. Fishing on the Adriatic Sea continues to inform Pietrantonio's practice, with fishing nets and a fish-market palette of colors serving as recurring motifs. The exhibition includes the work 'Rivage et bacchanale,' dated 1986-1988. Fragments of landscapes emerge in the work, which the gallery describes as offering testimonies from deep waters or pieces of the cosmos, resisting a single reading. The ritual of the return from fishing, of the return of the imaginary, and of intense flat fields of color are central to the artist's approach. The gallery suggests that something miraculous must be sought in the oeuvre. The exhibition is free to enter. Opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10:30 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 19:00, and Saturday from 11:00 to 19:00. The venue is accessible via Charonne station on line 9 or Faidherbe-Chaligny station on line 8.
