Sabino de Nichilo's First Roman Solo Show at L29 artstudio

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Sabino de Nichilo (born 1972 in Molfetta) presents his first solo exhibition in Rome at L29 artstudio. The show features ostentatious singular organs on pedestals, forming an esoteric gallery devoted to natural philosophy. The works resemble minimal Flemish butcher displays—opulent yet bloodless—showcasing the entrails of unknown organisms. These body parts, once belonging to former beings, now exist as autonomous living entities exploring space, having survived the sacrifice of their container to self-determine as new forms turned inside out. Processes of self-regeneration involve neuro-emotional integrations and pop chromatic variations embellished with gold. The organs are noble not by blood but by choice, transcending fate and tragic pain, enriched by contact with air. These contortions represent authorial genetic mutations, a champion 'fifth quarter.' The review is written by Raffaele Orlando, an archaeologist and official at the Ministry of Culture specializing in museology and collection history, working at the Reggia di Caserta.
