Nicola Bolla's Unease on Display in Turin
Nicola Bolla's exhibition "Senza Titolo" at Cavallerizza in Turin, curated by Nicola Davide Angerame, presents his lesser-known paintings alongside iconic sculptures like the Vanitas and Playing cards series, as well as recent works. The show, held in the historic Galoppatoio and Scuderie Reali spaces, reveals a multifaceted artist who blends baroque luxury with contemporary unease. Bolla's works, from atomic mushroom forms to bejeweled bones, evoke the wonder of 16th-century Wunderkammern while reflecting a disturbing prophecy in light of recent tragic events. The exhibition runs through 2022.
