Stefano Di Stasio's Anachronistic Paintings at Fondazione Stelline
Stefano Di Stasio (Naples, 1948) presents a solo exhibition at Fondazione Stelline in Milan, featuring his anachronistic style that blends metaphysical, magical realist, and surreal elements. The show includes recent works, yet his style remains consistent, creating a layered temporal disorientation. Di Stasio's paintings depict solitary figures in geometric spaces, evoking the literary magical realism of Dino Buzzati. The works, especially large-scale ones, balance precision with roughness, offering a melancholic yet transcendent experience. The exhibition runs at Fondazione Stelline, curated by Stefano Castelli, who writes for Artribune.
