  • GAPscape State of Art Italia

    Exhibition "GAPscape State of Art Italia" curated by an internationally renowned art critic Achille Bonito Oliva, already exhibited at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni Museum in Rome

    Artistic idea of "GAPscape - State of Art Italia" is 'genius loci' - an eternal and always current idea: to put in direct relation the prominent figures of the society with their respective favorite cities.

    The story of Italy presented through 35 portraits of its most representative individuals painted on Plexiglas: from Andrea Bocelli, Ennio Morricone to Umberto Eco, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Ferruccio Ferragamo, Federica Pellegrini and many others.
    All of them were personally involved in the realization of this project, posing for the portrait and releasing a statement dedicated exclusively to this project.
