Ritratti. Luca De Gaetano

In the exhibition there is a selection of 20 portraits, made between 2011 and 2020, which illustrate the poetics of Luca De Gaetano, oriented from the beginning to figurative representation and who finds in the portrait the means to confront himself with the other.
Characterized by a quick and material brushstroke, his works communicate a profound research on emotions and the human soul.
The expressiveness of the faces, the attention paid to small details bring out real people from the canvases; in fact, the artist uses painting as a means to get in touch with the portrayed subject, the point of connection and exchange through which aspects related to the interiority of each one emerge.

The exhibition is accompanied by a critical text by Giada Pellicari
