Nunzio's 'Foresta fossile' at Casamadre Napoli
An exhibition of works by Italian artist Nunzio (born 1954 in Cagnano Amiterno) is on view at Casamadre in Naples. The show features wooden sculptures treated with an oxyacetylene torch, creating blackened surfaces that absorb light. The first room presents three-dimensional forms that appear as fossil forests or alien monoliths, with openings revealing yellow, blue, and gray interiors. A second room contains two-dimensional geometric shapes in lead, with vertical grooves and oblique rhythms. The exhibition explores preexisting realities and invisible dimensions.
