From Skin to Canvas: Claudio Barone Debuts at the 'Dentro il Rosso'

From Skin to Canvas: Claudio Barone at the 'Dentro il Rosso' Biennale

The second edition of the International Contemporary Art Biennale "Dentro il Rosso" takes place at the Casina Vanvitelliana in the Parco Borbonico del Fusaro from 24 April to 3 May 2026. The exhibition focuses on the theme of red, interpreted through painting, sculpture and installations by national and international artists.

Among the exhibitors is Claudio Barone, an emerging artist from Marano and former tattooist, who is showing in a contemporary art exhibition for the first time. His work on display, titled "La spirale del potere", explores the destructive effects that belligerent decisions by those in power have on the most vulnerable.

• Location: Casina Vanvitelliana, Parco Borbonico del Fusaro, Bacoli
• Dates: 24 April - 3 May 2026
• Opening: Friday 24 April, 17:00 (presentation by art historian and critic Giorgio Gregorio Grasso)
• Works on show: painting, sculpture, installations; emphasis on material art and wood sculpture

Barone introduces a practice rooted in material art and wood carving, a personal trajectory now entering the exhibition circuit. The biennale, organized by Studio 5 Progetto Creativo with local institutional support, assembles a diverse selection aimed at highlighting different approaches to colour and materiality.

Practical takeaway: the event is a valuable platform to discover emerging voices and varied creative practices within the contemporary art scene of the Campi Flegrei.
