Marco Emmanuele's Sculptures Balance on Marbles at LABS Contemporary Art
Marco Emmanuele's solo exhibition 'Palmo Panorama' at LABS Contemporary Art in Bologna, curated by Saverio Verini, presents new aluminum sculptures called 'Ruscenti' (2025) that balance on marbles, inspired by poets. The show also features 'ISO #250' (2025), his largest canvas to date, using glass powder to create a shimmering, mosaic-like effect. Emmanuele, born in Catania in 1986, blends art, engineering, and architecture in his practice.
