Mirko Leuzzi's First Solo Show 'Abbi Cura di Te' Opens at B-Art in Rome
Mirko Leuzzi (b. 1992) has been painting daily since the first COVID-19 lockdown, discovering painting as a therapeutic outlet for ancestral wounds and the pain of separation. His first solo exhibition, 'Abbi Cura di Te,' opened at B-Art gallery in Rome, a space recently founded by two young entrepreneurs. The show features sixteen oil paintings, mostly of female figures, exploring Freudian unease in romantic relationships. Curator Paola Aloisio describes the title phrase as a formal farewell in relationships, transformed into a positive mantra. Leuzzi arrived at art without formal training or knowledge of art history, yet his works unconsciously reference German Expressionism and Antonello da Messina, suggesting a collective unconscious. The exhibition runs at B-Art in central Rome.
