Matteo Costanzo's Sticker Paintings and Video Works at Tomav
Matteo Costanzo (born 1985, Rome) presents a solo exhibition at Tomav gallery in the Marche region, Italy. The show features his signature sticker paintings—material collages of agglomerated icons fixed in resin—alongside video works. A video montage dedicated to Carmelo Bene, titled after the phrase 'Nessuno è padre di un altro,' is assembled from television footage. The multimedia piece 'Epic fail' engages with recent current events, layering references to the 21st century. On the top floor, the 2022 video 'Svuotare il mare' offers a deep, resonant statement. A synesthetic audio thread links the sound design to the viewer's ascent through the gallery, creating an organic, anticipatory experience. The exhibition is reviewed by Valeria Carnevali for Artribune.
