Giacinto Occhionero's 'Duralar Duralex' at Kou Gallery

The Kou Gallery in Rome is hosting 'Duralar Duralex', a solo exhibition by Giacinto Occhionero, who was born in 1975 in Campobasso and currently resides in Rome. The exhibition's title reflects the interaction of synthetic paints and plastic materials, particularly Duralar, a delicate plastic medium. Drawing inspiration from American Abstract Expressionism and European figures such as Kandinsky and Paul Klee, Occhionero utilizes specially designed spray cans to blur the lines between figuration and abstraction. His latest works display intricate color contrasts, reminiscent of geological formations, eyes, and cosmic motifs. A standout piece, 'Neck Bottle Head' (2021, spray paint on plexiglass, 100×75 cm), illustrates this fusion with its vibrant colors and surreal forms.
