Pizzi Cannella's Exploration of Light and Darkness at Mucciaccia Gallery
Pizzi Cannella (born 1955 in Rocca di Papa) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Mucciaccia in Rome, delving into the interplay of light and darkness. The show references his earlier experience in Saint Petersburg with 'Salon de Musique and other Paintings', where chandeliers animated nocturnal atmospheres. Works like 'Corallo', 'Bagno turco', 'Esterno giorno', 'Verde verde verde', 'Marina o madreperla', 'Bianco d’argento', and 'bianco di Spagna' explore color emerging from darkness. The series 'Nottambulo' then returns to darkness, described as a 'pentimento'—a reversal. The artist, quoting Franco Rella, seeks to rediscover painting itself among the things that emerge with light. The exhibition is covered by Valentina Muzi for Artribune.
