Pierluca Cetera and Giancarlo Nunziato's Dual Exhibition in Lecce

The dual solo exhibition 'Verbi Brevi' brings together Puglian artists Pierluca Cetera and Giancarlo Nunziato in Lecce, curated by Nicola Zito. The show features portraits, predominantly of seminude women in a timeless dimension, alongside men and boys with heavy expressions. The artists collaborate by intervening on each other's works, adding hallucinated gazes on semi-transparent sheets that create an eerie, pathos-filled atmosphere. The subjects appear trapped in psychic immobility, with post-applied gazes redefining the works' meaning. The title 'Verbi Brevi' (short verbs) conceptually underpins the exhibition, with phrases like 'open closed eyes' or 'close open eyes' indicating the importance of dual vision and perspective, ultimately referencing the Heraclitean synthesis of opposites governing the phenomenal world.
