Paul Yaner at Docks 74: "Città Strato" Explores Urban Chaos and

Paul Yaner debuts "Città Strato" in Turin

On 9 May 2026 Docks 74 opens the solo exhibition Città Strato by Paul Yaner, organized by the association Il Cerchio e le Gocce. The show traces the artist's evolution from graffiti and lettering to tightly composed visual maps of the modern city.

Yaner's work condenses metropolitan elements—dense architectures, urban signs and marginal figures—into compositions where flat fields, silkscreened architectural details and ironic mascots coexist. The pieces order urban noise into personal and generational narratives.

Why visit

The exhibition is relevant for those interested in how street art moves into exhibition spaces: Yaner blends his graffiti origins with vintage comic references, urban photography and international collective projects, bridging street practice and gallery contexts.

Artist background

Originally from Tuscany, Yaner has created mural interventions across Europe, the Americas and Asia. His practice grew out of early-2000s writing and moved towards a more formal, symbolic language; in 2019 he joined the collective The Death Squad, an influential group in global writing history. Editorial projects and international shows have marked his trajectory from street to institutional spaces.

Practical tip: book your visit in advance and allow time to study the silkscreened details and layered imagery that build the exhibition's visual narrative.
