Why visit

This exhibition highlights how Arcangelo’s practice is deeply connected to place and collective memory, drawing on archaeological themes, popular religiosity and urban landscapes typical of Naples and the Campania region. The works combine painting and narrative to convey a unique and coherent artistic voice.

Artist note

Born in 1956 in Avellino, Arcangelo trained in Italian academies and has lived in Milan since the 1980s, where he teaches painting. His work interweaves memory, landscape and religious imagery, producing a visual language notable for poetic intensity and formal freedom. This exhibition foregrounds the Campania context as a key element of his imagery.

Recommended for those interested in contemporary Italian art that engages with history, territory and devotional tradition.
