Renzogallo's 'Oltre le ceneri' at Mattatoio di Roma
'Oltre le ceneri,' a solo exhibition by Renzogallo (Lorenzo Gallo, born in Rome, 1943), is currently on display at the Mattatoio in Rome, curated by Aldo Iori, and will continue until August 2, 2026. This showcase delves into Gallo's artistic journey over the past ten years, merging elements of painting, sculpture, and spatial concepts influenced by architecture and experimental theater. With training from Giuseppe Capogrossi and others, Gallo emphasizes themes of body, space, and perception. Featured works include the installation 'Oltre' (2026), material paintings, and 'L'ombra delle idee' (2018-2026). His red iron structures invite viewer engagement, reflecting ideas of combustion and renewal while nodding to Minimalism and Arte Povera.
