Silence Is: Marco Rèa — solo exhibition

Opening: Friday 12 June 2026, 17:00 (the artist will be present). Exhibition period: 12 June – 30 September 2026.

Description

"Silence Is" brings together roughly fifty works created between 2013 and 2026, presenting a chronological and thematic overview of Marco Rèa's artistic development. The show juxtaposes canvases, reworked advertising posters, stencils and screenprints, along with the two sculptures realized by the artist.

What to see

• Historical sequence: pieces that document the creative path from early works to the latest productions.
• Techniques: spray, positive stencils, solvents, abrasions and screenprinting used to deconstruct and reshape imagery.
• Themes: visual subtraction, the search for truth beneath advertising surfaces and the portrayal of human imperfection.
• Pandemic section: works from 2020 marked by white surfaces, hurried lines and asemic alphabets.
• Recent phase: return to colour and fragmentation, with shifts from two-dimensional works to sculpture.

Why visit

The exhibition shows how street art languages merge with fashion illustration and contemporary research, offering works that move between public gesture and intimate inquiry. Visitors are invited to look beneath the image surface and engage with themes of identity and visual memory.
