On Thursday, June 18, starting at 6:30 p.m., Deodato Arte will host a special Art Night dedicated to Angelo Accardi at its gallery space in Via Nerino 1. For the occasion, the artist will be present in the gallery, and a new selection of works will be unveiled in a world-exclusive presentation, between reality, fiction, and surprising visual short circuits.
The unexpected within normality
What happens when an ostrich enters a museum?
In Angelo Accardi’s pictorial universe, the impossible does not appear as a simple provocation, but as a presence capable of transforming the way we observe reality. His works are based on a principle as simple as it is unsettling: inserting the unexpected into familiar contexts, giving life to suspended, ironic, and timeless scenarios.
Museums, theatres, urban spaces, and places of culture become open scenarios, crossed by unexpected encounters. Ancestral animals, pop icons, contemporary figures, and references to art history coexist within the same pictorial space, creating compositions in which the ordinary takes on new meanings.
A new selection of works in a world premiere
On the occasion of Art Night, Deodato Arte invites the public to discover, in a world-exclusive presentation, a new selection of works by Angelo Accardi: a visionary universe in which art, irony, and pop imagery meet in surprising scenarios.
The artist’s most iconic subjects are presented in a double exclusive format: limited-edition screenprints of only 25 pieces worldwide and One of a Kind works, unique pieces created from the same subjects as the limited editions. A rare and immediately recognizable proposal, designed for those who wish to enter, in preview, Accardi’s grotesque, elegant, and visionary world.
Visual short circuits and open narratives
In Accardi’s compositions, what initially appears recognizable is gradually called into question. An ordinary setting becomes populated by incongruous presences, a familiar image opens up to an ambiguous reading, and an unexpected detail alters the balance of the entire scene.
It is within this tension between logic and disorientation that the visual strength of his research takes shape. Accardi creates works in which reality and imagination intertwine without ever fully resolving themselves, inviting viewers to look beyond appearances and question the meaning of what they observe.
Between wonder, irony, and reflection
Each painting becomes a mental space even before it is a visual one: a place where painting does not merely represent, but suggests, provokes, and surprises. Through unexpected combinations and narrative short circuits, Accardi transforms the image into an experience of discovery.
The absurd never remains an end in itself: it enters the space of the artwork, inhabits it, and ultimately reveals a new coherence, suspended between visual play, compositional elegance, and deeper questioning.
An event at Deodato Arte
Art Night will be an opportunity to discover thethis new selection of works up close and to explore Angelo Accardi’s imagery in greater depth.
An exclusive evening at Deodato Arte, dedicated to a new chapter in the artist’s research and to a painting practice capable of transforming every scene into an experience open to interpretation.
