Lello Lopez's 'Materiale minimo di senso' at Shazar Gallery, Naples

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Shazar Gallery in Naples presents 'Materiale minimo di senso', a solo exhibition by Lello Lopez (born 1954 in Pozzuoli). The show transforms the gallery into a domestic yet Freudian uncanny environment, inviting viewers to navigate ambiguous clues and enigmatic signifiers. Lopez describes the project as an 'open set'—a memory-based exploration of the unconscious as infinite sets, referencing Ignazio Matte Blanco's theories. The exhibition functions as a rhizomatic territory cataloguing objects, forms, colors, and spaces in a constant interplay that pushes personal experience toward further associations. Curated by Giuseppe Compare, the exhibition runs at the gallery's Naples location.
