Danilo Correale's 'DWYL' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples

Danilo Correale's solo exhibition 'DWYL' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples presents a series of interconnected works exploring labor, leisure, and fragility. The show's title is an anagram of 'Do What You Love' and 'Don't Waste Your Life.' The first room features a triptych of mirrors replacing traditional portraits, accompanied by a sound piece of a conversation about maturity among characters Sebastian, Lucy, Molly, and a porter. In the second room, Sebastian drags himself across the floor, his footprints simulating plowing, exposing the earth's 'flesh' as a metaphor for life's fragility under a system that commodifies both work and free time. The third room displays the 'Disegni sinistri' series—drawings made with Correale's left hand on pre-printed psychological evaluation boards while his right arm was injured. Each drawing is mounted on office carpet patterns, exploring the ambiguous relationship between psychiatrist and patient. Gallerist Tiziana Di Caro recalls meeting Correale in 2016 in New York, where he lives, and how their friendship led to the exhibition.
