Gianni Caravaggio's Poetic Stone Works at kaufmann repetto

exhibition · 2026-04-24

Italian artist Gianni Caravaggio presents a solo exhibition at kaufmann repetto in Milan and New York in 2026, featuring sculptures that explore the emotional and perceptual resonance of materials. The show includes works such as 'Prima pioggia' (2026) in graphite on white alabaster, 'Quando le sensazioni diventano vere' (2024) in alabaster and tracing paper, 'Nuvola che mostra i propri sentimenti' (2019-2023) in white alabaster, 'Lasciarsi e ritrovarsi su una linea retta' (2025) in silver-plated bronze and white bronze, 'Prima pioggia (notturno)' (2026) in silver pencil on black Belgian marble, 'Alla luce del sole' (2021) in green Guatemala marble, and 'Orione' (2024) in silver pencil on black Belgian marble. Caravaggio's practice treats stone as a living substance that holds memory and emotion, resisting narcissistic projection and inviting viewers into a shared imaginative space. The exhibition is accompanied by a text by the artist reflecting on his Alpine journey and the metaphysical qualities of sculpture.
