André Romão's third solo show at Galleria Umberto Di Marino in Naples
André Romão's third solo exhibition at Galleria Umberto Di Marino in Naples, titled 'Le Volpi', explores the ambiguous boundary between human and non-human identity. The show features sculptures made from hybrid natural and artificial materials, including mussel shells, flowers, animal skins, and plexiglass. Drawing on Chinese and Japanese folklore where foxes possess supernatural shape-shifting abilities, Romão uses the fox figure to create an ecosystemic interconnection where no element is isolated, and subjective identity disperses and reinvents itself through hybrid materials.
