Piano d'ascolto - Andreas Zampella
20 March - 7 May 2022 Gallery Andrea Festa is thrilled to announce the solo show of Andreas Zampella (1989, Salerno, Italy), curated by Nicolas Martino.
Contemporary society forces us to live more and more indolent, disenchanted, slothful. In fact, Andreas Zampella's subjects load us with anxiety, tension, because they deprive us of comfort and security. Deformed and unnatural men and women, that like all things that frighten at the same time fascinate and infect, and push us to search for some similarity with ourselves. These figures navigate in limbo, in a state of nebulousness and vagueness, sometimes resigned in their despondency, others unaware that they even exist. But even the devouring monsters seem to be predators now fed up and loaded only with cynicism. Even from a chromatic point of view Zampella seems to want to remain elusive, not letting himself be contaminated by academic theories, and using collage in an original way, further isolating the subjects of his paintings.

Still Life - Sinead Breslin
21 November 2021 - 15 January 2022 Gallery In the quiet spaces between memory and dream, Sinéad Breslin captures the delicate pulse of life in her new series Still Life. Born from the rolling hills of Tuscany and the storied streets of Rome’s Jewish Quarter, these works weave together personal histories and universal myths, each brushstroke a meditation on time, loss, and the unseen threads that connect us all.
Breslin’s figures, both real and imagined, are bound by the weight of their own stories, rendered with a rawness that transcends their material form. With exaggerated colors and instinctive brushstrokes, she creates a world where the boundary between the living and the fantastical blurs—a space where Magical Realism dances with Primitivism, where the real becomes an abstraction, and the abstract becomes a reality.
Through these emotional, sometimes haunting, portraits, Breslin invites us into her world, one where the tension between the dark and the beautiful is ever-present. Her work is a journey into the unreal, a reminder that the stories we tell ourselves are as powerful as the lives we lead. The past, the present, and the mythical collide in each piece, holding a timeless conversation that stirs something deep within.
For those seeking more than just art, Still Life is a collection of stories captured in paint and memory—a rare opportunity to acquire works that are as much an exploration of the heart as they are of the canvas. Read more -
