Francesco Lauretta and Luigi Presicce's Telepathic Painting Dialogue in Sicily

The exhibition 'Sono apparso alla mela di Cézanne' at San Sebastiano Contemporary – Casa Bramante in Palazzolo Acreide, Sicily, presents a cryptic dialogue between painters Francesco Lauretta (b. 1964, Ispica) and Luigi Presicce (b. 1976, Porto Cesareo). Despite stylistic differences, their works appear interconnected, almost telepathically. The show stems from the Scuola di Santa Rosa, a weekly drawing ritual founded by the two artists three years ago, which has infused their painting with new inspirations and experimentation. Presicce's statement frames painting as a means to dissect the world, referencing Cézanne's apples as a lens for the visible universe, and cites Carmelo Bene. The exhibition runs at the gallery in Palazzolo Acreide.
