Wolfgang Laib's Meditative Works at Galleria Alfonso Artiaco, Naples

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Wolfgang Laib (born 1950 in Metzingen) presents twelve works at Galleria Alfonso Artiaco in Naples, created specifically for the gallery's spaces. The exhibition explores the non-visible and transcendence found in organic elements like rice, pollen, and beeswax, contrasting with cold white marble and opalescent brass. Laib's art, inspired by Aristotle's concept of contemplation as the highest human faculty, aims to convey the ineffable spiritual dimension. The show runs until December 10, 2016, at Piazzetta Nilo 7.
