Born in Naples, but a nomad at heart, Francesco Clemente (born in 1952) has devised an exhibition, inspired by the concept of a nomad at heart, encouraging visitors to immerse themselves in the Indian and Orienal tradition that has been one of his primary sources of inspiration from time immemorial and into which he dips in order to breathe life into the very private, intimate sensitivity that is a constant feature of his work.
A vast symbolic and metaphorical vocabulary depicts an all-encompassing aesthetic landscape rich in metaphysical, spiritual and mystical echoes, often bound up with an invariably lyrical and emotional take on erotic love, marked by an intense, unique approach to colour.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue containing a vast iconographical apparatus and essays by the curator and by leading international thinkers.
The exhibition is also accompanied by a full programme of collateral events and by a multifaceted educational programme.
