«Ultima vela…»: Lucio Salzano’s solo show at Palazzo Venezia Napoli

From 19 to 27 May 2026, Palazzo Venezia Napoli stages "Ultima vela…", a solo exhibition by Neapolitan artist Lucio Salzano. The show presents seven previously unseen works created between 2021 and 2026, offering a route that blends painting with theatrical and multimedia elements.

The works, made with oil pastels and mixed techniques on cardboard and humble supports, display a tactile, direct language. The color blue—often dominant—acts as a metaphysical space where memory, time and absence meet. The "interrupted landscapes" depicted convey inner tensions and social dynamics, prompting a re-evaluation of journey and rebirth.

Representing a concluding stage of a pictorial cycle, the exhibition brings together Salzano’s background as a theatre director and creator of multidisciplinary projects: the staging and performative references enhance the narrative quality of the pieces, generating dreamlike atmospheres and fresh perceptual dimensions.
