ROOM 1 – IN THE DINING ROOM

Three works by Nicola Samorì welcome us to the exhibition. The large work on the wall in front of us was made by painting a precise copy of a Maddalena by Luca Giordano and, with the paint still fresh, pushing the paint downwards, making the layer curl in on itself and almost entirely compromising its legibility. This is not simply a disfigurement, but a way for the artist to accentuate the existential drama experienced by the saint, who emerges from the void with even greater force. Opposite, two frescoes are torn and engraved, their visual impact accentuated by as many small sculptures: on the right, a Cristo risorto (resurrected Christ) from Germany; on the left, an anthropomorphic statue, made with different materials by the artist himself.
