30 under-40 artists from Venice Academy show at Spazio Berlendis

exhibition · 2026-04-26

Spazio Berlendis, the exhibition satellite of Galleria Marignana Arte in Venice, hosts 'Aldilà sarà', a group show featuring 30 artists under 40, all alumni of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. The exhibition pays tribute to Aldo Grazzi, an artist and teacher who died in 2023, whose intellectual legacy continues to influence new painters. The title references his work 'Liberi tutti', shown at Spazio Berlendis in 2023. Co-curated by Matilde Cadenti and Emanuela Fadalti, the show highlights the Academy's role as a cultural hub, blending international students with local talent. Works range from Jingge Dong's essential forms and delicate tones to Simone Rutigliano's abstract surreal landscapes. This follows a 2024 collaboration, 'Liberi tutti', which presented 16 emerging artists in three group shows. Cadenti notes the common thread is homage to Grazzi, both as an artist and teacher. The exhibition underscores painting's vitality in Venice's contemporary scene.
