Francesco Casati's First Solo Show in Rome Explores Animal Archetypes
Francesco Casati (Verona, 1990; lives and works in Venice) presents his first solo exhibition, 'L'animale più silenzioso del mondo' (The Quietest Animal in the World), at Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea in Rome. Curated by Edoardo Monti, the show features mixed-media oil and acrylic paintings depicting intense, impalpable figures suspended in a timeless, metaphysical non-place. Through subtle irony, Casati explores contradictions in social relationships, existential reflections, and personal memories. The indeterminate atmospheres and blurred faces with archaic animal masks evoke strong symbolic meanings. Monti explains that the symbolism does not impose answers but provokes questions and invites dialogue. Casati's work tends toward universal archetypes of the collective unconscious, opening new interpretive possibilities. The exhibition is on view at the gallery in Rome.
