Enzo Fiore's Solo Show at Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice

The Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice, recently renamed Istituzione after a turbulent period, has partnered with Galleria Contini to host a solo exhibition of Enzo Fiore (born 1968, Milan). The show, held in the foundation's spaces on Piazza San Marco, signals a strategic shift under president Bruno Bernardi to feature artists supported by galleries and museums, with an educational focus on young artists associated with Bevilacqua. The monographic exhibition is organized thematically, featuring wall installations with panther portraits bound by thin cables, studies with butterflies, urban views, and appropriations of universal art historical masterpieces. Fiore uses organic materials such as resins, leaves, roots, and insects, which dictate lines and surfaces, shifting perception from vitality to decay. The display is described as essential, more suited to a white cube than a Venetian palace.
