Tomaso Binga's Early Works Revisited in Naples
Tomaso Binga (Salerno, 1931) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples, revisiting works from the early 1970s. The show draws on two earlier exhibitions from 1972: one at Paesi Nuovi Art Gallery in Rome and another at Galleria Il Diagramma 32 in Naples. The exhibition features analog portraits and polystyrene pieces, exploring what the artist calls 'a sort of iconic writing.' It follows a previous show focused on the 'dattilocodice' and the magnetic power of writing that becomes a desemanticized body or structure. This new presentation offers a linguistic analysis of found objects and gentle metaphors, showcasing a selection of works that trace an intellectual journey. The exhibition is curated by Antonello Tolve, a professor of Pedagogy and Didactics of Art at the Accademia Albertina di Torino.
