Francesco Clemente's Watercolor Naples at Casamadre
Francesco Clemente (b. 1952) presents a solo exhibition at Casamadre in Naples, featuring watercolors that subvert the city's iconic imagery. The works depict Naples' famous skyline, gulf, and islands, but with a twist: the familiar views are mirrored and repeated by an anonymous Indian copyist, while Clemente inserts animalistic theogonies and self-transformations into the scenes. The exhibition runs from June 2018 at the Casamadre gallery in Naples, Italy.
