Damiano Azzizia's Solo Show at Casa Vuota, Rome
Damiano Azzizia (Martina Franca, 1993) presents his first solo exhibition at Casa Vuota in Rome. The show features small-format cardboard works depicting empty domestic interiors. Azzizia's paintings evoke a metaphysical sense of suspended time, with skewed perspectives and dusty colors that blur memory. Objects like walls, corners, doors, wardrobes, and chairs are anthropomorphized, taking on autonomous life. The irregular edges of the cardboards symbolize frayed time, contracted and expanded within personal memory. The exhibition was reviewed by Eloisa Saldari (Rome, 1978), an art historian and freelance curator specialized in visual arts and science, particularly Arte Povera.
