From 16 April to 17 June 2024
the Hendrik Christian Andersen House Museum directed by Maria Giuseppina Di Monte, belonging to the Directorate of State Museums of Rome led by the General Director of Museums Prof. Massimo Osanna, inaugurates Michele De Luca's exhibition entitled Nei mondo.
The exhibition curated by Anna Imponente is the opportunity to see together for the first time the paintings that since the beginning of the 2000s have best characterized the poetics, the restless exploration of an elsewhere, the theater of the cosmos of the artist De Luca, with an attitude of secular mysticism that can support the research of new frontiers in the astrophysics of our era. The authentic and motivated works open physical and mental passages to recreate universes, places of the intensity of luminous events, signal pulsations between flares and fades. The design involvement to which the artist attributes the characteristic of "nonsense" is determined by the rapid gestures of aqueous acrylic brushstrokes applied with a musical feeling for the transition to visionary environmental stratospheres.
Ligurian artist trained in Rome where he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts, Michele De Luca made his debut in the early 1980s with expressionist and multi-material works, participating over the years in important exhibitions in the main Italian contemporary venues. From the Promoter of Fine Arts in Turin to the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice to the Villa Croce Museum in Genoa, to the Michetti Museum in Francavilla al Mare to the Macro Museum in Rome. In 2017 he was present at the exhibition "The path of the Certose" at the Certosa di Padula. A permanent site-specific installation has been on the ground floor of the Palazzetto Venezia in Rome since 2012, designed by the Superintendency of Lazio. Critics including Enrico Crispolti, Paolo Balmas, Vito Apuleo, Luca Beatrice, Guglielmo Gigliotti, Cristiana Perrella, Gabriella De Marco, Laura Cherubini, Flaminio Gualdoni were interested and wrote about him.
