Press Release

Inspired by a passage from ‘A Silvia’ by Giacomo Leopardi, the painting represents the bitterness of the human condition. Immersed in the beauty of nature, but involved only for a short time.

O natura, O natura,

Perche’ non rendi poi

quel che prometti allor? Perche’ di tanto

Inganni I figli tuoi?‍-

‘A Silvia’, Giacomo Leopardi

About the Artist

Clean and powerful, Gabriele Cappelli’s abstract geometric forms bring together a sense of classical aesthetic and a contemporary approach to colour and line. His artworks contain an inherent sense of balance in their proportion, form, and colour, distilling a universal aesthetic language into its purest form. Cappelli has always been interested in the dialogue between different disciplines, in both theory and technique his works encapsulate the harmony the artist has found between the past and present. He is able to recall historical artistic traditions through abstract and modernist shapes and textures, re-evoking and revitalising them by combining them with conceptual and visual proponents of contemporary art. Cappelli takes inspiration from architecture and urban planning but also from the structure of music, using these disciplines to inform the development of his works, creating a sense of order.
