Roberto Cuoghi's Decade of Work in Major Puglia Exhibition
Roberto Cuoghi, born in Modena in 1973, has been awarded the Pino Pascali Prize for 2025, resulting in a comprehensive exhibition at the Fondazione Pino Pascali in Polignano a Mare that reflects his artistic journey over the past decade. This showcase includes various series that highlight his creative freedom and innovative approaches. Notable works comprise a large ceramic crab on a wool sweater, the installation 'Ether en Flocons,' and paintings featuring a teddy bear from the Trump campaign alongside 'Family Guy' characters in 'Antigone.'
