I’m an Italian Artist, from Rome. When I was a child I drew for hours, a real moment of pure happiness. I have painted 25 years. My works in oil and acrylic on canvas are born from my inner state. When I paint, I like to tell stories. Really the paintings narrate only part and […]

My recent works are an expression of emotional experience during an unusually difficult life, surviving decades of major health issues. My narrative style of painting uses large scale structures and mixed media with heavy textures intended to evoke powerful presences. It is hard to pass by without becoming personally immersed in the mood of each […]
Stories of History: Christodoulos Panayiotou at Casino Luxembourg
At the Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain, artist Christodoulos Panayiotou deciphers the history and sociology of contemporary society. This subtle and astonishing exhibition strikes a wonderful chord. For over ten years, the Cypriot artist Panayiotou has delved into contemporary history through that of the island where he was born, to show the different layers […]

In this series Fragments G&C, compositions are based on geometry and change, in color, value, temperature, or intensity. These changes can be seen as the eye moves from top to bottom, bottom to top, or from side to side. Through this process I can explore simultaneously the mysterious spaces between inside and outside, colorfield and image, figuration and abstraction, […]

It is difficult to determine if a “fix statement” operates between this series of experiments with the image. What seems to connect them is the insistent pursuit of change; the radical transformation of their initial forms, its essence, what makes them be what they are. Part of this process and praxis of the artist, is […]

I entitled all the works that have shoes as their subject the Steps of a woman. They are born from thinking of all those steps that a woman makes to carry out her tasks, to realize her dreams. I work on this theme every now and then, painting in small groups, always different even in size, […]
Klaus Enrique talks Arcimboldo and the Macabre with Kinsey Robb
Klaus Enrique is a New York based photographer whose work echoes that of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, with some surprising twists. For one, the subjects of his portraits—made from fruits, vegetables, and yes, even raw chicken—are captured in real time, in the glorious moments before they inevitably began to decay. The photographs are stunning commentaries on the […]
Anna-Bella Papp’s Untitled Clay at Modern Art
For her first exhibition with the gallery, Romanian born Anna-Bella Papp orchestrates a compositional space that reflects modernistic characteristics while evading any singular readings of her practice. Upon entering the gallery the viewer is embraced with a sense of openness, to both the works and the space. An openness that allows for a personal narrative […]
Trying Not to Think Too Much: the Work of Noah Becker
Noah Becker’s first solo exhibition in New York since 1999 will open at the Lodge Gallery on November 7th, 2013 from 7 to 9pm. Many of the works were generated in the last two years out of his studio in Brooklyn. They break the seal of white noise haunting the Lower East Side, where exaltation […]
Experiencing Gayatri Spivak: Training the Imagination
Debunking Foucaltian notions of power, post colonialism, and feminism in the most intricate fashion, Gayatri Chakravoerty Spivak left me mesmerized in a lecture she gave last month at New York University entitled, “Democracy and Representation.” I have worshipped at the academic alter of Gayatri Spivak for close to a decade and now would be able […]
