Angelo Maisto's Solo Exhibition at Blu Gallery in Bologna
Angelo Maisto (born 1977 in Naples) presents his solo exhibition 'Little Things' at Blu Gallery in Bologna. The show gathers hybrid creatures and imaginary figures created over two years, drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's allegories and Jorge Luis Borges's 'Manual de zoología fantástica' (1957). Characters include Silvano, Delphine, two versions of L'Uccellatore, and Tubichiocciola (with the sci-fi name Eobania tubulata). A series of watercolors explores nature's creative force, colors, and metamorphosis.
