Giuseppe Stampone Reimagines Art History at Prometeo Gallery Milan
Giuseppe Stampone's solo exhibition 'Past to the Future' at Prometeo Gallery in Milan reinterprets iconic Western paintings by inserting contemporary social and political elements. The show includes 'Emigration made' (2022), a reworking of Antonello da Messina's 'St. Jerome in His Study' (1474-75), where the theologian's face is replaced with melancholic features of three young migrants. Another series, 'Welcome to Gran Sasso' (2022), features black-and-white photographs manually retouched with BIC pen, reflecting a neo-romantic view of nature. The images stem from Stampone's expeditions on Monte Camicia, Corno Grande, and Corno Piccolo, seeking balance with the environment away from digital hyperconnectivity.
