Andrea Chiesi's 'Orizzonte Variabile' at CUBO Unipol in Bologna

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Andrea Chiesi, a Modena-born artist born in 1966 with a punk sensibility, presents a selection of large-format, meticulously detailed paintings at Spazio Arte CUBO in Bologna. The exhibition, titled 'Orizzonte Variabile' and curated by Claudio Musso, includes 27 new graphite-on-paper drawings that trace his creative trajectory. Chiesi's work consistently explores urban peripheries, which he views as places of silence and mystery with unexpected value. His recent piece depicting Bologna's San Donato district, featuring its gasometer, is shown alongside earlier works, all united by what Musso calls 'impermanent horizons'—skylines composed of numerous overlapping layers. The exhibition runs until July 15, 2016, at CUBO – Centro Unipol, Piazza Sergio Vieira de Mello 3.
