Devaux and Toma's Dual Vision at Galleria Annarumma

The double solo exhibition 'Punti di Vista' at Galleria Annarumma in Naples, running from May 8 to June 8, 2026, presents works by Loic Devaux and Sergiu Toma. Rather than staging a simple opposition, the show explores the coexistence of two visual regimes. Devaux's paintings evoke Pop Art—specifically Roy Lichtenstein and Keith Haring—but reorient that language toward affective, everyday micro-relations, emphasizing emotional continuity over narrative climax. Toma, by contrast, draws on 17th-century European painting, particularly Caravaggio, using chiaroscuro not as atmosphere but as an ontological condition: figures emerge partially, never fully defined, forcing the viewer to negotiate their position. The exhibition frames their practice as complementary poles within a shared inquiry into how painting can still produce experience today. The curatorial structure avoids synthesis, leaving friction unresolved, and suggests a politics of vision where every image is a stance on the world.
