The curatorial text and images tell of the artist’s desire to disturb, transgress and transfigure pre-existing images, through the use of different practices, such as piercing and scratching the canvas. Through sudden and violent gestures, he transforms painting by creating new works, pregnant with the disquiet typical of contemporary expression. Samorì confronts the works of the great masters of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, interpreting them with the tormented spirit of our century. This volume, published to coincide with Nicola Samorì’s first anthological exhibition in Italy on the premises of the museum of Palazzo Fava in Bologna (8 April – 25 July 2021), offers an exhaustive reading of the twenty-year career of the Bolognese artist.
