A unique opportunity to enter Gaetano Zampogna's studio and discover the creative process of one of the protagonists of the Roman art scene over the last four decades.
Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of his workspace, where the works that have characterized his long journey take shape: from his experiments with the Artmedia group in the 1980s, when art became an "appropriation and looting" of the twentieth century, to his most recent reflections on contemporary life.
Various works from the artist's different creative phases will be visible in the studio: monumental portraits contaminated by media mythologies, the ironic figurations of "Scratch Cards" - icons of a society chasing chimeras of wealth -, the visionary giants Mata and Grifone evoked on damask fabrics, and the disturbing "Butcher Shops", where the tragedy of violence is defused in compositions of unsettling beauty.
Gaetano Zampogna will be present to dialogue with visitors, share anecdotes about his artistic journey, and reveal the secrets of his painting technique, which merges figurative tradition with criticism of the contemporary media system. A precious opportunity to understand how a work of art is born and to engage directly with an artist who has made painting an instrument of lucid and poetic analysis of our times.
