Cristiano De Gaetano: A Posthumous Tribute at Museo Pino Pascali

The Museo Pino Pascali in Polignano a Mare hosts an exhibition dedicated to the late artist Cristiano De Gaetano, curated by writer Marcello Fois. De Gaetano, who died young, is remembered as a seductive, empathetic figure with a raptor-like gaze. His work, spanning series like Ice Age and pieces referencing Friedrich's ship on ice, combines technical mastery with a casual, almost indifferent attitude toward his own talent. The exhibition highlights his ability to bridge classical and contemporary, as seen in a family portrait blending pop and impressionist styles. Fois argues De Gaetano's art has not aged, maintaining its stylistic, chromatic, and technical fiber. The show runs at the museum in Polignano a Mare.
