Pietro Capogrosso's Hypnotic Painting on Display in Trani
At Palazzo delle Arti Beltrani in Trani, the solo exhibition "Doppiorizzonte" presents more than 100 pieces from Pietro Capogrosso's three-decade artistic journey. Capogrosso, born in 1967, studied and taught at Milan's Accademia di Brera and shifted to conceptual painting after his encounter with Luciano Fabro. His recognition surged in the 1990s, and his work, characterized by a captivating spatial quality, developed further in Moscow, showcasing various formats. A gestural style, inspired by South Korea, emerged in his art. The exhibition features recent pieces, including the "Orizzonti domestici" series, created during the pandemic with a limited color palette. Pietro Marino's catalog text notes the colors as "apparently" monochrome, shaped by Mediterranean influences.
