The exhibition dedicated to Salvo (Leonforte 1947 - Turin 2015) shows how the artist’s painting - in the great repeated thematic cycles, in his attention to the themes of art history and in his study of light - has always been in continuity with his early conceptual research.
Born in Sicily, Salvo has lived in Turin since 1956, where he first approached Arte Povera and the languages of conceptual art before devoting himself exclusively to painting since 1973, an unconventional choice for the cultural climate of the early 1970s.
Going against the tide even on the Italian scene, Salvo carried out unique research and critical reflection on the medium of painting for forty years.
