Orodè Deoro's Outsider Mosaics at Novembre 1927 in Lecce

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Orodè Deoro (Taranto, 1974) presents a cycle of works at Novembre 1927 gallery in Salento, returning after commitments in Milan. His practice, rooted in an outsider dimension, began with years spent in a commune run by a Salento artist, where he created hundreds of square meters of wall decorations using tiles and waste materials. The resulting total environment is dense with stratifications, symbols, and a blend of sacred and profane. His aesthetic oscillates between kitsch and postmodernism, citationism and irregular bricolage. Notable among the exhibited works is a monumental mosaic made in the home-studio of designer Fabio Novembre, his patron. The surfaces and materials reference art history, avant-garde movements, and visionary literary echoes from Carmelo Bene onward.
