exhibition · 2026-04-27

Paolo La Motta, born in 1972 in Naples, is showcasing his solo exhibition titled 'Finestre sul quadro' at the Andrea Nuovo Home Gallery in Naples. This exhibition displays 32 paintings spread over two floors, illustrating the artist's blend of technique and emotional depth as he translates memories of life onto canvas. La Motta, an alumnus of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples, draws inspiration from the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte and the works of Lucio Amelio. His art often conveys themes of emptiness and melancholy, featuring elements such as shadow play and absent gazes. Notable works include 'Sanfelice e l’impluvium,' which incorporates details from Naples's Rione Sanità. Upcoming projects involve a show in Brussels and 'Capodimonte incontra la Sanità' at the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, running through September, which will include portraits of local youth like Genny Cesarano.
