Lino Tardia – "Mediterranean Echoes": exhibition at Galleria Angelica

Lino Tardia – "Mediterranean Echoes" at Galleria Angelica

Galleria Angelica hosts "Mediterranean Echoes", a show dedicated to Lino Tardia on the fifth anniversary of his passing. The exhibition maps the artist's creative journey, from early Sicilian landscapes to informal experimentation and a renewed figurative language, with recurring references to archaeological memory and Mediterranean imagery.

Curated by Francesco Ciaffi and organized by Edarcom Europa in collaboration with the artist’s family, the exhibition highlights Tardia’s material approach—combining paint with plastic interventions and gold leaf—and the formal influences tracing back to Renato Guttuso and the encounter with Francis Bacon.
