Riccardo Dalisi Retrospective at Andrea Nuovo Home Gallery in Naples

The Andrea Nuovo Home Gallery in Naples is hosting 'Un’esca a catenelle', a retrospective of Riccardo Dalisi (Potenza, 1931 – Naples, 2022) featuring works from 2011 to 2017. The exhibition spans two floors and the garden of the elegant house-gallery, presenting 36 works that blend dreamlike emotions and magical visions, merging natural and mechanical elements. Dalisi's art transforms poor materials like tin, forex, and packaging paper into vibrant, anthropomorphic forms, reflecting a strong sensitivity to reuse and eco-sustainability. His aesthetic rejects fixed schemes, embracing self-generation and constant renewal. The works serve as poetic narratives that appeal to both adults and children, promoting a pedagogy of beauty. The exhibition is a tribute to Dalisi's cultural legacy, showcasing his ability to find poetry in everyday objects.
