Side View, Nino Korinteli’s debut solo exhibition at Broadway Gallery in New York, presented a  refreshing panoply of new work by the artist. Incorporating a wide array of media and subject matter, Korinteli’s vision is broad. Though self-taught, Korinteli demonstrates a dexterity, sensibility, and awareness of art history far more informed than the "outsider" or […]

The channels through which photography finds its way to the buyers are still highly traditional. Original prints are mainly sold through galleries. But since new media channels, particularly the Internet, are gaining increasing importance in all sectors of the economy, including the fine art market, there is no reason why the trading of artworks through […]

My youngest sister was born when I was 13 years old. It was a few months before the sex education program started at school, and I had no knowledge about sex. Friends made fun of my parents for having a baby, and that was really confusing for me. I respect my parents. They were very […]

The following attributes that are the target of my creations are the things, I believe, all the contemporary artists who can’t refrain from creating with concern and responsibility should have. To witness “the essence of time” (zeitgeist) once again, that is to be more adverse and radical on this […]

There lives within me an insatiable appetite to squeeze from every fragment, a universe. That’s probably the exaggeration factor in all Italians, or all of Latin for that sake. We enjoy amplifying mundane issues and converting them into seemingly life-changing happenings, and what’s worse, we believe them to be universally significant. I take possession of […]
